    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Immunohistochemistry

    Background:

    • Olfactory marker protein (OMP) is a key component of olfactory receptor neurons.
    • Its presence and distribution across species are crucial for understanding olfactory system development and function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the presence and localization of OMP in the olfactory tissues of rats, gerbils, and humans.
    • To utilize OMP reactivity for precise immunohistochemical determination of the olfactory and respiratory epithelial junction.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunohistochemistry using goat antiserum against rat OMP.
    • Control studies on rat neural tissue.
    • Staining of olfactory tissues from rats, gerbils, and humans.

    Main Results:

    • OMP was localized in olfactory receptor cells, nerves, and bulbs in rats.
    • OMP reactivity was confirmed in the olfactory tissues of gerbils.
    • Human olfactory neurons, nerves, and bulbs exhibited OMP reactivity, enabling precise junction identification.

    Conclusions:

    • OMP is conserved across rat, gerbil, and human olfactory systems.
    • Immunohistochemical detection of OMP provides a reliable method for mapping olfactory system anatomy, particularly the epithelial junction.
