We surveyed the kidneys of dogs with immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis (ICGN) by lectin histochemistry using seven lectins-namely WGA, RCA-I, ConA, PNA, SBA, DBA, and UEA-I. Their binding patterns were compared with those from normal dogs. RCA-I signals became weak in the brush borders of the proximal tubules, whereas DBA signals became positive in Bowman's capsules. Also, varying intensity of the UEA-I signal was noted in the distal tubules, especially in the macula densa. The binding pattern profiles varied among the cases; this diversity in the lectin-binding patterns might be induced as a result of the diverse pathologies seen in canine ICGN.

This article describes the carbohydrate composition of early and mature placentas from bitches, detected by lectin histochemistry. Formalin-fixed placental samples from 11 mixed-breed bitches have been assigned to the 'early' or the 'mature' placenta group, processed by the routine histological technique and labelled with a panel of 14 biotinylated lectins. The glycan distribution was almost completely preserved over pregnancy.

Sperm capacitation involves biochemical and physiological changes that enable sperm to fertilize the oocyte. It can be induced in vitro under controlled conditions that simulate the environment of the oviduct. While extensively studied in mammals, its approach in lizards remains absent.

Glycans are complex oligosaccharides that are involved in many diseases and biological processes. Unfortunately, current methods for determining glycan composition and structure (glycan sequencing) are laborious and require a high level of expertise. Here, we assess the feasibility of sequencing glycans based on their lectin binding fingerprints.
