Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The membrane structure of bronchial ciliated epithelium and lymphoepithelium was studied in rats by lectin histochemistry. The lymphoepithelium, contrary to bronchial ciliated epithelium, did not contain terminal beta-D-galactose residues. Moreover L-fucose and beta-D-Gal (1-3)-D-GalNAc residues, being masked, could be visualized only after enzymatic digestion of terminal sialic acid. These structural differences in membranes provide a basis for the different functions of bronchial lymphoepithelium.
