Composition of glycoconjugates was examined in small intestines naturally infected with Isospora suis in preweaned pigs by use of 21 biotinylated-labeled lectins with avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method. As compared with control pig, staining of 18 lectins altered in jejunal villus brush border and goblet cells of pigs naturally infected with I. suis. These results indicate that I. suis infection alters carbohydrate residues on the jejunal intestines.
