Cryostat sections of heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, liver cartilage, brain, nerve, tongue,
esophagusand salivary gland from man, rabbit, rat and guinea pig were stained with

stained sections were examined by fluorescence microscopy. The general pattern of
fluorescence is very similar to that obtained with labelled Lens culinaris lectin and
Concanavalin A. Particularly the lectins stain connective tissue structures of the organs. The …
