Lectin histochemistry of epidermal glandular cells in the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris (Annelida Oligochaeta)

Carbohydrate residues were localized in the glandular cells of the epidermis of Lumbricus terrestris by lectin histochemistry. The following biotinylated lectins were used: ConA, PNA, WGA, UEA-I. Each lectin has a specific binding pattern in the epidermal glandular cells. The ConA binding is evident...
