| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to prove the expression of some factors related with differentiation to the mature olfactory neuron in human olfactory mucosa. The olfactory mucosa removed by a special forceps under the patient's agreement were divided three types, existing olfactory neural cells, existing only respiratory column cells and missing any epithelial cells by the mechanical artifacts. Some neural markers were observed-sparsely in the olfactory epithelium by immunohistochemical study. However, any markers related with neural differentiation were not found in the human olfactory epithelium and cultured tissue in this experiment system. It is seemed that more ingenuity is needed at the course of removal, fixation and tissue culture of olfactory epithelium.
