Histochemical distribution of certain biochemical constituents in the albumin glands of snailsRO Okotore, M Ortmann, D Karduck, PJ Klein and G Uhlenbruck
The presence in situ of the biochemical constituents galactans, proteinase-inhibitors, and erythro-agglutinin anti-A in snail's albumin gland tissues has been demonstrated by histochemical techniques using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated counterparts; namely, anti- galactan-specific lectins, different proteinases, and blood group A substance. Invariably, these constituents are localized as globular structures, predominantly within the lobules of the gland tissue. There is a good correlation between the histochemical findings and the previously reported biochemical and serological findings for these substances.
