Abstract
Tannic acid was found to fix and stain glycocalyx heavily. After removal of the major component of surface glycopeptides by trypsin, the surface coat was stained vaguely, and after the treatment with collagenase, the surface coat was moderately stained. It is concluded that tannic acid stained non-specific surface glycopeptides.Keywords
