Figure 8

Lectin histochemistry. (a) Fundic region: the oxynticopeptic cells displayed a very weak positive reaction for GSL (), in contrast to the epithelial cells () and mucous neck cells (). (b) Pyloric region: note the moderate reaction in epithelial cells () and mucous neck cells () after PNA staining. (c) Pyloric region. Note the strong reaction at the apical domain of epithelial cells of the gastric pits as well as at mucous neck cells. (d) Negative control.
