Using [3H]thymidine labeling a population of dividing cells in the vomeronasal neurosensory epithelium of the adult mouse was demonstrated. These cells were localized in the regions of the epithelium adjacent to its boundaries with the ciliated respiratory epithelium. With increasing survival times after thymidine administration, the labeled cells became situated progressively further away from the boundary region. The cluster of cells with labeled nuclei formed a loose column, consisting of labeled receptor cells, but in addition the immediately overlying supporting cell nuclei were also labeled. By 56 days after thymidine administration the cluster of labeled cells was separated from the epithelial boundary by a distance equivalent to about 1/5 of the total width of the epithelial sheet. There was little further change in position at 102 days. It is not clear to what extent this represents a turnover process as opposed to a continuing growth of the epithelium by accretion at the edges.
