Three-step monitoring of glycan and galectin profiles in the anterior segment of the adult chicken eye
2018, Annals of AnatomyCitation Excerpt :Initial work on glycosylation in the anterior parts of the eye was performed by staining for mucopolysaccharides in human specimen (Graumann and Rohen, 1958). It was then taken to the level of lectin histochemistry on mammalian specimen, covering either the entire anterior segment or distinct regions such as ciliary body, cornea, iris or trabecular meshwork (for representative studies, please see Refs. Versura et al., 1984; Holmes et al., 1985; Panjwani et al., 1986; Vanden Hoek et al., 1987; Brandon et al., 1988; Wells et al., 1988; Tuori et al., 1994; Chapman et al., 1995; Hietanen et al., 1995; Chan et al., 1999; for review, please see Ref. Prause, 1991). That receptors for glycan epitopes are present could first be demonstrated histochemically with labeled neoglycoproteins in corneal and conjunctival epithelia of pig eyes (Lange et al., 1989) (the second step given above).
