Article Synopsis
- An immunohistochemical study of guinea-pig taste buds showed cells reacting to gustducin near von Ebner's glands, suggesting a unique finding not reported in other species.
- The examined cells lacked secretory granules and specific types of microscopy confirmed their immunoreactive properties, revealing similarities to taste bud cells.
- The evidence indicates that these gustducin-immunoreactive cells in both vallate papillae and the glands may serve the same function, likely related to chemo-reception.
