Abstract
Sialidase digestion of histological sections releases sialic acid from some sialic acid rich nonsulfated mucins. Such treatment eliminates the metachromatic staining and alcian blue affinity of these mucopolysaccharides. The procedure furnishes a method for histochemical localization of certain sialomucins.Keywords
