Lectin histochemical staining of the olfactory rosette. (AD,G) LEA marks intensely the olfactory epithelium dividing it clearly from the unstained nonsensory epithelium in both transverse (A) and sagittal (B) sections. In the nonsensory epithelium (C,D,G) it labels big oval neuron-like somas (black arrowheads) in the crypts. Thin dendritic processes can be clearly appreciated (white arrowhead in G). (E,F) UEA labels secretory material, mainly in the crypts, but also in the sensory epithelium. (HJ) BSI-B4 labels neuron-like cells in the nonsensory epithelium (arrowheads), including its crypts. Scale bars: 100 µm (A,B,D,E,H); 50 µm (C,F,I); 25 µm (G,J).
