  • Title: Calbindin-like immunoreactivity in two peripheral chemosensory tissues of the rat: taste buds and the vomeronasal organ.
    Author: Johnson EW, Eller PM, Jafek BW, Norman AW.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1992 Feb 14; 572(1-2):319-24. PubMed ID: 1611530.
    Abstract:
    In the rat, calbindin-like immunoreactivity was observed at both the light and electron microscopic levels within the chemoreceptor neurons of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and both intragemmal cells and associated nerve fibers of the circumvallate taste buds. All VNO neurons were immunoreactive. Only a subset of intragemmal taste cells was immunoreactive; associated immunoreactive nerve fibers were apposed to both labeled and unlabeled cells but no synaptic contacts were observed.
