Lectin histochemical studies were performed on the olfactory system of Scyliorhinus canicula to identify specific glycoconjugates on the cell surface of primary olfactory neurons. The olfactory receptor cells, the olfactory nerve fibers and their terminals in the bulbs were labelled with SBA, BSA-I and BSA-I-B4. The lectin staining patterns indicate that the membranes of small-spotted catshark olfactory neurons had glycoproteins with alpha-galactose residues. This carbohydrate moiety could be related to modulation of the cell-cell interactions in the olfactory system.
对小斑猫鲨的嗅觉系统进行了凝集素组织化学研究,以鉴定初级嗅觉神经元细胞表面的特定糖缀合物。嗅觉受体细胞、嗅神经纤维及其在嗅球中的终末用大豆凝集素(SBA)、荆豆凝集素I(BSA-I)和荆豆凝集素I-B4(BSA-I-B4)进行标记。凝集素染色模式表明,小斑猫鲨嗅觉神经元的膜具有带有α-半乳糖残基的糖蛋白。这种碳水化合物部分可能与嗅觉系统中细胞间相互作用的调节有关。
