Primary culture of neonatal rat olfactory neurons

We have prepared primary cultures of purified neonatal rat olfactory
neurons. Dissociated olfactory epithelial cells are maintained in modified
Eagle's medium with D-valine, cytosine arabinoside, and NGF. NGF is
required for neuronal survival. Immunohistochemical staining is positive
for the neuronal markers vimentin, olfactory marker protein, and
neuron-specific enolase, but negative for the glial markers, glial
fibrillary acidic protein, and S-100 protein. Physiologic concentrations of
odorants stimulate cAMP accumulation in the cells. Because of their
morphology, biochemical composition, and responsiveness to odorants, these
cells should enhance olfactory investigations.
