Abstract:This chapter presents a study characterizing changes in carbohydrate moieties in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord of mice intoxicated with perivitellin 2 (PV2) from Pomacea canaliculata using lectin-histochemical techniques. Groups of 6 BALBcAnN mice were injected intraperitoneally with a single dose of PBS (control group) or 1 mg/kg PV2 (19 µg per mouse), and then their spinal cords were removed and lectin histochemistry was performed. The labelling of positively-stained lectins involved different areas of … Show more
