Glycoconjugate composition of colorectal goblet cell mucin was characterized according to the anatomical distribution of lectin-binding sites in mucosal biopsies from 35 control subjects and 55 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. 24 of the controls had mucosal inflammation on biopsy, without
The distribution of glycoconjugates in normal maxillary sinus tissues, in cases of maxillary sinusitis and in postoperative maxillary cysts (POMC), was examined using seven different lectins as probes. The results showed that wheatgerm agglutinin (WGA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), Ulex europaeus
An experimental model of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) was produced by removing the lacrimal gland and the gland of the third eyelid from the left eye of 6 cats. The right eye of each cat was left intact and used as a control. After 2 weeks, cats were euthanatized and the central portion of the

Gastric Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) cells exert important functions during injury and homeostasis. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling regulates gastric inflammation and epithelial homeostasis. We investigated if BMP signaling controls the
Biopsy specimens from histologically normal human gastric mucosa were examined histochemically with the use of lectins. Significant differences were found in the glycoconjugate patterns of the surface mucous cells between the body and the corresponding antrum. Two lectins (Ulex europaeus agglutinin
Lectin expression in both normal and inflamed sinus mucosa in rabbit was investigated histochemically. A different staining pattern was observed in the inflamed mucosa, i.e. the degree of staining reactivity with Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) decreased, whereas staining with Ulex europaeus
Eight cases of cutaneous bacillary angiomatosis related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were studied by light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemistry with a panel of antibodies specific for endothelial and histiocytic markers. Light microscopy showed an inflammatory reaction with
BACKGROUND
Mechanisms governing the normal resolution processes of inflammation are poorly understood, yet their elucidation may lead to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation. The removal of apoptotic cell material and their potentially histotoxic contents is a
BACKGROUND
The carbohydrates of gastric mucins and other sugar structures are involved in interactions with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) adhesins. The binding of bacteria to mucins can protect the epithelium from direct contact with the pathogen and from developing infection because of a specific
We compared lectin staining patterns to cell population densities, as determined by morphological criteria in rat airways. Eight lectins were studied: Griffonia simplicifolia I isolectin B4 (GSI-B4), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Wisteria floribunda (WFA), Glycine maximus (SBA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA),
Human parotid salivas were collected from patients with secondary Sjögren's syndrome and controls without disease or with drug-induced xerostomia. Parotid glycoproteins were separated by gradient sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), electroblotted onto nitrocellulose membrane and
The peribiliary vascular plexus plays an important role in physiology of bile flow. Disturbance of the microcirculation may contribute to ductal injury, but little is known about alterations in the vascular supply of small bile ducts in liver disease. Immunoperoxidase stains for vascular endothelium
We describe a vascular lesion with characteristic clinical and histologic features. The patients when first seen have a small, single, annular, targetoid-appearing lesion. Histologically it is a noncircumscribed vascular proliferation that may extend into the subcutaneous tissue. The earliest
Goblet cells in the conjunctiva secrete mucin into the tear film protecting the ocular surface. The proresolution mediator resolvin D1 (RvD1) regulates mucin secretion to maintain homeostasis during physiological conditions and in addition, actively terminates inflammation. We determined the
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to compare fucose and sialic acid residue expression on fibronectin and α{1}-acid glycoprotein in the seminal plasma of men suspected of infertility and suffering from leukocytospermia.
METHODS
Seminal ejaculates were collected from 27 leukocytospermic and 18
