As first author of this 1996 paper, I wanted to clarify that we were growing olfactory ensheathing cells and other cell types.

"Our immunocytochemistry findings can be partially explained by the presence of ONEC (olfactory nerve ensheathing cells). This interpretation is supported by the finding that 33–66% of ONC are CD401 by flow cytometry. Low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor is used as a marker for ONEC (23, 54, 57) and is also localized to olfactory neurons (4) and olfactory basalcells."

Further in this paper,we concluded that: "Based on expression of CD40, NCAM, and intermediate filaments, the composition of ONC cultures is likely a combination of ONEC, basal cells, and immature olfactory receptor neurons."

The ONEC was defined as olfactory nerve ensheathing cells.
