The glycocalyx of absorptive cells in large intestinal hyperplastic polyp was characterized histochemically at the electron microscope level by the use of the Alcian Blue pH 2.5 and high iron diamine techniques with the aim of comparing their ability in preserving the fine reticular network of the structure. Both the reagents stained glycocalyx, indicating the presence of sulphated acidic glycoconjugates. However, they showed different degrees of condensation of the reactive sites.

Abstract
The glycocalyx of absorptive cells in large intestinal hyperplastic polyp was characterized histochemically at the electron microscope level by the use of the Alcian Blue pH 2.5 and high iron diamine techniques with the aim of comparing their ability in preserving the fine reticular network of the structure. Both the reagents stained glycocalyx, indicating the presence of sulphated acidic glycoconjugates. However, they showed different degrees of condensation of the reactive sites. Alcian Blue preserved its filamentous appearance better.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
