Cholecystokinin (CCK) containing particles were isolated from rat striatum. After differential and isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation, CCK containing particles equilibrated around 1.2 M sucrose. Dopamine (DA) containing particles equilibrated around the same buoyant density, but the c...
