[Differences between epiglottis and cricoid cartilages. Histochemical study with lectins in hamsters].
An histochemistry study with lectins was performed in the epiglottis and cricoid cartilages of 4 Syrian golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). The results show that there are differences in glycoconjugates between both cartilages. In the epiglottic matrix there was no reactivity to HPA, PNA and DBA lectins. However the cricoid cartilage showed no reactivity to SBA. Neither of cartilage matrixes were reactive to LTA or Con-A.
