title: Calretinin, calbindin-D28k and parvalbumin-like immunoreactivity in mouse chemoreceptor neurons.
abstract: Calretinin immunoreactivity was demonstrated in adult mouse olfactory receptor neurons and in the vomeronasal and septal chemoreceptor neurons, whereas parvalbumin expression was restricted to the vomeronasal receptor neurons. Calbindin-D28k-like immunoreactivity was primarily localized in the vomeronasal and septal chemoreceptor neurons although an occasional neuronal staining with calbindin-D28k was also found in restricted areas of the main olfactory epithelium.
