These studies utilized specific antisera to examine the distribution and characteristics of tyrosine hydroxylase and olfactory marker protein in the olfactory bulb of the human and macaque monkey. The macaque displayed immunoreactive profiles to both antisera comparable to those described previously for other mammals. Olfactory marker protein antiserum labeled the olfactory nerve layer and glomeruli. Within the glomeruli, labeled processes were interdigitated with unlabeled processes believed to be the postsynaptic dendrites of olfactory bulb neurons. Tyrosine hydroxylase antisera labeled somata surrounding the glomeruli as well as putative dendritic processes with the glomerular neuropil. It appeared that only a subset of juxtaglomerular neurons were immunoreactive. A similar pattern was observed in the human for both antibodies. Fascicles of olfactory marker protein immunoreactive olfactory nerves often coursed long distances into the olfactory bulb prior to arborizing within a glomerulus. The data suggest that olfactory receptor cell axons destined for specific glomeruli fasciculate into bundles prior to reaching the target glomeruli. The immunoreactivity in the human to tyrosine hydroxylase was qualitatively similar to the macaque and other mammals although the number of labeled somata and intraglomerular processes appeared lower. As in the macaque, it appeared that only a subset of juxtaglomerular neurons were labeled.
