title: Glycosidic residues in the mouse submandibular gland: biochemical determination and visualization with plant lectins.
abstract: Biochemical and histochemical studies were carried out on the mouse submandibular gland to define the presence and the localization of glycosidic residues. The results obtained by applying peanut, winged pea, wheat germ, soybean and Con A lectins to unfixed and fixed sections tallied completely with biochemical determinations of the various glycosidic residues. The data from this study have been compared with those obtained by other authors who had performed biochemical and histochemical studies on the gland; similarities and discrepancies as to the presence and the localization of the sugars are discussed.
