[Histochemical features of the mucus of the surface epithelium of the rabbit oviduct].

Some cytochemical observations were made on the secretion of the mucocytes in the surface epithelium of the different regions of the rabbit oviduct in anoestrous. It was concluded that the mucocytes of the oviduct contained mucin which was neutral or acid in nature. The three regions of the rabbit oviduct contained carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharide, but sialomucin was found in the infundibulum and sulphomucin was demonstrated in the isthmus and ampulla.
