{"doi":"10.1002/jmor.10864","title":"Lectin histochemical studies on the olfactory epithelium and vomeronasal organ in the Japanese striped snake, <i>Elaphe quadrivirgata</i>","abstract":"<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The olfactory epithelium and the vomeronasal organ of the Japanese striped snake were examined by lectin histochemistry. Of the 21 lectins used in the study, all lectins except succinylated‐wheat germ agglutinin (s‐WGA) showed similar binding patterns in the vomeronasal receptor cells and the olfactory receptor cells with varying intensities. The binding patterns of s‐WGA varied among individuals in the vomeronasal and olfactory receptor cells, respectively. Four lectins, <jats:italic>Bandeiraea simplicifolia</jats:italic> lectin‐II (BSL‐II), <jats:italic>Dolichos biflorus</jats:italic> agglutinin (DBA), <jats:italic>Sophora japonica</jats:italic> agglutinin (SJA), and <jats:italic>Erythrina cristagalli</jats:italic> lectin (ECL) stained secretory granules and the organelles in the olfactory supporting cells and did not stain them in the vomeronasal supporting cells. These results suggest that the glycoconjugate moieties are similar in the vomeronasal and olfactory receptor cells of the Japanese striped snake. J.
