Abstract :The distribution of isolectin I-B4 from Griffonia Simplicifolia GSA I-B4 was studied in trigeminal ganglion. Small diameter celi bodies were labeled by GSA I-B4, while large cells were unlabeled. GSA I-B4-labeled axons from the maxillary, mandibular and ophthalmic branches of the trigeminal nerve reached to their celi bodies which were located in discrete regions within the ganglion. The distribution of non-peptidergic primary afferent fıbres in trigeminal ganglion is briefly discussed with those obtained in other studies using GSA I-B4 as a marker in trigeminal ganglion
