Description
Abstract
The physiological irnportance of
carbohydrate biology has gradually emerged from a lot
of recent information on protein-carbohydrate and
carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction in normal and
pathological conditions. After considering the
conventional methods which allowed researchers to
differentiate glycan-containing macromolecules from
other complex compounds (nucleic acids, proteins),
selected topics of intracellular and cellular organ
architecture are focused upon in which the use of lectins
and neoglycoproteins as histochemical reagents has
opened new horizons for the localization of glycoconjugates
in situ and the elucidation of their often still
enigmatic functions. The authors hope to place into
perspective that such glycohistochernical studies will
strongly contribute to the progress in the dynamically
growing field of glycobiology.
