Abstract excerpt
O-acetylated and non-O-acetylated sialoglycoproteins can be distinguished by the mPAS (mild periodic acid-Schiff) histochemical technique. Individual adults show one of three different patterns of staining of large intestinal mucosa: uniformly mPAS-positive, uniformly mPAS-negative, or mPAS-negative with scattered mPAS-positive crypts. To test our hypothesis that these variations are the result of a single...
