The distribution of binding sites for the lectins Ulex europaeus agglutinin I, Soybean agglutinin, Bandeiraea simplicifolia agglutinin I-isolectin B4, and Vicia villosa agglutinin in the mink olfactory bulb was investigated. All lectins except Ulex europaeus agglutinin I bound exclusively and systematically to a single area of the olfactory bulb. This area corresponded to that in which the vomeronasal nerves terminate, indicating that it is the accessory olfactory bulb, as confirmed by microdissection and by the study of transverse and parasagittal series of the olfactory bulb. The results, moreover, indicate that the accessory olfactory bulb of the mink comprises three isolated eminences, the largest in the dorsal part of the olfactory bulb, and the other two in the lateral and medial parts.
研究了凝集素荆豆凝集素I、大豆凝集素、单叶豆凝集素I-异凝集素B4和野豌豆凝集素在水貂嗅球中结合位点的分布。除荆豆凝集素I外，所有凝集素都专门且有规律地与嗅球的单个区域结合。该区域与犁鼻神经终止的区域相对应，表明它是副嗅球，这一点通过显微解剖以及对嗅球横切面和矢状旁切面的研究得到了证实。此外，结果表明水貂的副嗅球由三个孤立的隆起组成，最大的位于嗅球的背侧部分，另外两个分别位于外侧和内侧部分。
