In the rat, calbindin-like immunoreactivity was observed at both the light and electron microscopic levels within the chemoreceptor neurons of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and both intragemmal cells and associated nerve fibers of the circumvallate taste buds. All VNO neurons were immunoreactive. Only a subset of intragemmal taste cells was immunoreactive; associated immunoreactive nerve fibers were apposed to both labeled and unlabeled cells but no synaptic contacts were observed.
