Lectins As Effective Tools in the Study of the Biliary Network and the Parenchymal Architecture of the Zebrafish () Liver.

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins with specific affinity to glycoconjugates expressed in various tissues. Lectins are of substantial utility as research, histochemical, and diagnostic tools in mammalian systems. Reactivity of 12 commonly used plant-based lectins was studied in zebrafish liver.
