Abstract
We used a group of lectins (Con-A, WGA, SEA, DBA, RCA-1, UEA-1), enzym es (neuraminidase digestion) and conventional histochemical techniques (periodic acid-Schiff reaction and reduction-saponification-Schiff re action) in order to detect the presence of glycoproteins rich in siali c and neuraminic acids in the human eccrine sweat glands. Using both i dentification systems, our results showed an abundant secretion, rich in C80xi-acylated sialic acid.
