| Popis: | Carbohydrate residues were localized in the glandular cells of the epidermis of Lumbricus terrestris by lectin histochemistry. The following biotinylated lectins were used: ConA, PNA, WGA, UEA-I. Each lectin has a specific binding pattern in the epidermal glandular cells. The ConA binding is evident in the orthochromatic mucous cells; PNA in the metachromatic mucous cells; WGA in the neuroendocrine-like cells; UEA-I in the cuticle. The epidermal glandular cells possess specific sites for the different lectins in relation to their functional characteristics. Therefore, these sugar residues indicate different behaviours of the cells in epidermal functions related to ion transport, receptor-secretory processes and defence. |
