Definition
A substance (protein, enzyme) that is injected at the level of the neuronal soma. It is incorporated within the soma, then conveyed in an anterograde (orthodromic) direction in the axon up to the endings. The tracer is generally colored with a histochemical reaction, with or without an earlier immune amplification reaction.
