Abstract：
:Cultured olfactory bulb cells from embryonic mice had ultrastructural characteristics similar to those of many cell types in the intact adult mouse olfactory bulb. Identified cultured cells included mitral/tufted cells, granule cells, short-axon cells, and fibrous and protoplasmic astrocytes. Cultured neurons were found as individual cells, clusters or aggregates. Clusters consisted of a loose array of neurons that appeared to be densely interconnected by neurites. However, few neurites or fascicles emanated from clusters to adjoining areas. Aggregates consisted of many small, usually rounded, neurons piled on top of one larger neuron, or on more than one, with typically many neurites and fascicles projecting to adjacent aggregates, clusters or individual neurons. Neurites of cultured olfactory bulb cells were well developed, and some were several millimeters long. Synapses were very prominent in these cultures, especially in aggregates, clusters, and fascicles. Electron-lucent, dense-core, and coated vesicles were present. Polarity, shape, and length of the long axis (size) of 815 cultured neurons, identified by positive anti-microtubule-associated protein 2 staining, were documented. Cultured neurons varied in size from 9 to 27 microns, with an average size of 16 microns. Elliptical bipolar (35%), triangular multipolar (21%), and round unipolar (15%) were the most common polarity/shape combinations found in culture. Multipolar, triangular, triangular multipolar, and elliptical bipolar cells increased in size with increasing age of culture. The relative proportions of triangular, multipolar, elliptical multipolar, and triangular multipolar cells decreased, whereas the relative proportions of round, unipolar, and round unipolar cells increased with increasing age of culture. These changes in population subtypes and cell size may indicate continued differentiation and maturation of cultured neurons.
