Abstract
The vomeronasal organs (VNOs) of two humans, a male neonate and a fema le adult, were examined for immunolocalization of calbindin-D28k (calb indin) which has been immunolocalized to VNO receptor cells in other m ammals. The present study demonstrates that epithelial cells within th e VNOs of both subjects expressed calbindin-like immunoreactivity. The se results suggest that human VNO epithelial cells of both genders exp ress calbindin during development and in the adult.
