(A) Photomicrographs of a palatal epithelial sheet from a P3 female chicken labeled with Vimentin (green) and α-Gustducin (red) to illustrate the distribution pattern of taste buds. Vimentin and α-Gustducin immunosignals were overlapping in taste buds. Squares with dashed lines mark the areas for the higher magnification images in a_2–4 columns in the maxillary gland region (mgr), palatine papillae region (ppr) and posterior region (pr) of the palate, respectively. Scale bars: 2 mm for a₁, 200 μm for a_2–4. (B,C) 2 photon 3-D reconstructed images of a taste bud cluster showing ovoid-shaped (B) and tube-shaped (C) taste buds in the palatine papillae region and posterior region. Scale bars: 50 μm in (B) and (C).
