Abstract

Intracellular vital dye injection was used to examine the morphology of single sustentacular and receptor cells and the developmental fate of individual basal cells in the olfactory epithelium of the tiger salamander. In acute experiments, Lucifer yellow injections were used to identify single basal, receptor or sustentacular cells on the basis of their overall morphology. Dye-coupling between a number of the different epithelial cells was observed. Progeny of basal cells were examined by following labeled cells for up to 2 weeks using intracellular injection of rhodamine-labeled dextran. These experiments indicate that some olfactory epithelial cells are dye-coupled and that dye-filled basal cells can undergo division and migration.
