Abstract
The glycosidic residues in the mandibular glands of five adult dogs we re studied by using seven different lectin-horseradish peroxidase conj ugates. In some cases a treatment with sialidase preceded the lectin s taining, The mucous acinar cells contained oligosaccharides with alpha - and beta-N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine and fucose resid ues, whereas the demilunar cells contained glycoconjugates rich in sia lic acid linked to the penultimate disaccharide galactosyl-(beta 1-->3 ) N-acetylgalactosamine.
