Characterization of stem cells obtained from olfactory epithelium by detection of specific protein markers and functional evaluation. (A) Confocal image of an olfactory epithelial stem cell expressing SOX-2 (red) and neuron-specific human III β-tubulin (green). Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). (B) Intracellular Ca2+ concentration measurements illustrating the functionality of human olfactory epithelial stem cells. Stimulation with DA, 5-HT and or EPI increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration (unpublished material). DA, dopamine; 5-HT, serotonin; EPI, epinephrine.
