maclura/atrophy

This paper reports three cases of membranous lipodystrophy (Nasu-Hakola disease) in two families and studies the carbohydrate components of membranocystic lesions in all three cases, using twelve kinds of lectins labelled by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA), which

Parietal cells undergo a differentiation process while they move from the isthmus toward the pits and the base region of the gastric gland. The aim of this work was to analyze the rat gastric glands by lectin histochemistry to show the glycans expressed by upper (young) and lower (old) parietal

Ten different fluorescein-conjugated lectins of various known sugar specificities were used to study cell surface glycoconjugates of normal and regenerating rat skeletal muscle. In normal muscle, Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin, Triticum vulgaris agglutinin (wheat germ agglutinin, WGA), Ricinus

Eleven different fluorescein- or peroxidase-conjugated lectins with different sugar-binding affinities were employed to analyze and compare glycoconjugates of rat and human peripheral nerves at the light microscopic level. A majority of lectins showed a distinct binding pattern in different
