title: Ultrastructural histochemical study on glycoconjugates of the submandibular gland of rabbits.
abstract: An ultrastructural histochemical study was carried out on submandibular glands of rabbits. Stainings were performed with dialysed iron (DI), high iron diamine (HID), tannic acid uranyl acetate (TA-U), tannic acid-ferric chloride (TA-F) sequence, and periodate-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) method. It was demonstrated that neutral glycoproteins are present in the cells with dark granules of the preterminal tracts, and that neutral and acid glycoproteins are present in the cells with light granules of the terminal tracts. Result are discussed and compared to other previously obtained histochemical and biochemical data.
