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.
利用神经元特异性烯醇化酶（NSE）抗血清，通过免疫组织化学方法对青蛙味觉器官中的默克尔细胞进行了研究。仅在位于味觉器官基部的默克尔细胞中发现了NSE免疫反应性。NSE免疫反应性默克尔细胞的分布和形态与先前报道的同一位置含血清素的细胞一致。
