Results
Specimen 1b: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Note: dorsal olfactory axon bundle
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: olfactory nerve Present Punctate 1b Expressed in some axons but not in the ensheathing cells.
TS22: olfactory nerve olfactory ensheathing cell Absent 1b

Specimen 1c: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Note: high magnification
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: olfactory nerve Present Punctate 1c Expressed in some axons but not in the ensheathing cells.
TS22: olfactory nerve olfactory ensheathing cell Absent 1c

Specimen 2b: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: olfactory nerve olfactory receptor cell Absent 2b No expression in the cytoplasm of olfactory receptor neurons.

Specimen 2c: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: olfactory nerve Present Punctate 2c The electron-dense precipitates had the same round shape whatever the plane of the section, longitudinal or transversal, indicating that they are defined discrete spots, not filamentous in structure.

Specimen 2d: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: olfactory nerve Present Regionally restricted 2d Only a few in the most proximal axonal segment exiting the lamina propria.

Specimen 3a: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Note: high magnification
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: olfactory nerve Present Punctate 3a The precipitates look like aggregates of different density, conferring on them a granular aspect.

Specimen 3b: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Note: high magnification
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: olfactory nerve Present Punctate 3b In transverse sections, the clusters usually appeared arranged in small groups, often located in a slightly eccentric position with a pattern comparable to that of intermediate filaments.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: olfactory nerve Present Punctate Expressed in developing olfactory axons but not in the ensheathing cells. Labelled axons were not present in all bundles but are predominantly located in the most dorsal ones. The probability of envisioning precipitates increased as the more distal segments of the axon were reached.
