Abstract
The immunohistochemical study was done on the distribution of S-100 protein and Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) in olfactory mucosa and the results were compared between the man, the monkey, the rabbit and the rat. Rabbit antisera against rat NSE and bovin S-100 protein were used for Avidin-Biotin Complex immunohistochemical procedures. α and β subunit of S-100 protein was also used for the study.
NSF positive cells were present in the human olfactory mucosa. S-100 positive cells were present in the rabbit olfactory mucosa. S-100-α-subunit positive cells were present in the rabbit olfactory mucosa.
