Abstract

The Merkel cells in the taste organ of the frog were investigated by immunohistochemistry using neuron-specific enolase (NSE) antiserum. NSE-immunoreactivity was found exclusively in the Merkel cells lying at the base of the taste organ. The distribution and the profiles of the NSE-immunoreactive Merkel cells coincided with serotonin-containing cells previously reported at the same place.
