Immunohistochemical analysis of the expression of simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens (Tn, sialyl-Tn and T) was performed in a series of 43 cases of intraductal hyperplasia without atypia, 9 cases of intraductal hyperplasia with atypia, 54 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and 26 cases of
The distribution of carbohydrate residues in eccrine and apocrine glands of normal human skin was studied using a post-embedding technique with Lowicryl K4M. Thin sections were incubated with Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA I), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), concanavalin A
Epithelium of oviductal ampulla was studied in normal and in superovulated sheep using morphologic analysis and lectin glycohistochemistry. The lining epithelium consisted of two types of cells, ciliated and nonciliated cells. Unlike superovulated samples, the nonciliated cells from control ewes
Prolactin-induced protein (PIP) is a small secreted glycoprotein carrying several N-linked carbohydrate chains. The expression of PIP is generally restricted to cells with apocrine properties. It was found in apocrine glands of the axilla, vulva, eyelid, ear canal, and seminal vesicle. Being a
The distribution of complex glycoconjugates and antimicrobial substances in the ceruminous glands of the horse (Equus przewalskii f. dom., type: pony) was studied using carbohydrate histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. The epithelial cells and luminal secretion of these glands exhibited
Benign mammary gross cystic disease is the most common breast lesion. Women with apocrine changes of epithelium lining the cysts are at higher risk for developing breast cancer than the normal female population. Sialic acid has drawn considerable interest because of carbohydrate aberrations in
Malignant transformation is frequently associated with abnormal expression of cell surface carbohydrates. Sialyl-Tn (STn) is a core carbohydrate antigen of tumor-associated mucin formed by the premature 2-6 sialylation of N-acetylgalactosamine. In an attempt to verify whether this antigen is
Endometrial samples from 64 women using different types of IUDs were used to study the ultrastructural changes of the human endometrium as influenced by nonmedicated and copper devices, using SEM and TEM in an attempt to explain the physiological mechanism of their actions. The absence of
Ultrastructure and histochemistry of clinically normal appearing tissue and secretions of non-lactating human mammary glands have been investigated in order to document and analyse secretory phenomena in the resting gland. The material studied originated from women of different ages (18-74 years)
