[Histochemical differences between submucous glands and Goblet cells of the supraglottis. A study on hamsters]. / Diferencias histoquímicas entre las glándulas submucosas y las células caliciformes de la supraglotis. Estudio en el hámster.

In order to know the differences between the submucosal glands and the goblet cells of the supraglottic mucosa, a lectin histochemistry study was performed in 4 larynx of hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). The results show a strong reactivity to HPA and N-WGA lectins in the submucosal glands. Also reactivity to N-PNA and UEA-1 was present in the submucous glands but not in the goblet cells.
