Transplant-to-host neuron migration and neurite projection from homotopically transplanted olfactory bulb as demonstrated by mouse allelic Thy-1 form.

Abstract excerpt

Transplant-to-host neuron migration and neurite projection were demonstrated using the mouse allelic Thy-1 system, namely, BALB/c (Thy-1.2) embryonic olfactory bulb (OB) as the graft and 5- to 6-week-old AKR (Thy-1.1) OB as the host. From OB transplants inserted into the host OB, small neurons were often extensively moved mainly in the internal granular layer and showed almost the same morphology as the normal...
