Annotation: The rQSOX antiserum used in this study was prepared in the laboratory of “Enzymologie et Chimie des Proteines,” Tours (France). Rat sulfhydryl oxidase was purified from seminal vesicle fluid (Benayoun et al., 2001); 6.5 micrograms of the purified protein in Freund’s complete adjuvant were subcutaneously inoculated to a rabbit at day 0. Injections of similar amounts of protein were repeated with incomplete adjuvant at days 21 and 71. Blood was collected from the ear marginal vein and the obtained antiserum was stored at –20°C. The specificity of the rQSOX antiserum has been previously controlled by Western blot on seminal vesicle fluid homogenates (Benayoun et al., 2001).

Staining type: not specified Sampling: 1:4 Annotation: Five adult male rats were deeply anesthetized and then perfused through the ascending aorta with 150 ml 0.9% NaCl followed by 300 ml ice-cold 1% paraformaldehyde fixative in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PBS; pH 7.4). The brains were immediately removed, postfixed in the same fixative for 2 hours at 4°C, immersed overnight at 4°C in a 15% cryoprotective sucrose solution, and quickly frozen over liquid nitrogen. Then they were serially cut into 20-micrometers coronal sections on a cryostat-microtome, mounted on gelatinized slides and stored at –40°C until treatment. Two brains were used for the mapping of the rQSOX distribution on every four sections from the olfactory bulbs to the spinal cord...
