Lectin histochemistry on the skin of hairless descendants of Mexican hairless dogs.

Abstract excerpt

The skin of hairless descendants of Mexican hairless dogs was investigated lectin-histochemically. Haired dogs were also used for comparative study. In the epidermis of infant pups, lectin staining revealed marked differences between hairless and haired dogs. Griffonia simplicifolia-I (GS-I) bound moderately to the cytoplasm of the stratum basale of hairless dogs, while no binding to that of haired dogs was...
