pig and the house mouse were compared by conventional and FITC-conjugated lectin
histochemistry. Methylation/saponification and sialidase digestion were performed prior to
lectin binding to detect the residues subterminal to sulfated groups and sialic acid,
respectively. In the Guinea-pig the Brunner's glands produce class-III stable
sulfosialomucins. Sialic acid is mostly 2, 6-linked to galactose or to N-acetylgalactosamine …
