    Notes: Summary We studied the histochemical distribution of zinc in rat epididymis using a sulphide-silver method. In the supranuclear cytoplasm of the principal cells that line the epididymis of rats, varying amounts of sulphide-silver-reactive zinc were visualized. In adult mating rats, significant amounts of zinc were found in the proximal portion of the epididymis, whereas in non-mating, mature and immature young rats, this heavy metal was most prominent in the distal portion of this organ. In all of the rats studied, zinc was sparsely distributed in the intermediate portion of the epididymis. From these results, it can be assumed that the zinc present in the epithelial lining of rat epididymis plays an important role in the maturation of spermatozoa. The present results represent a useful contribution to our understanding of the functional morphology of rat epididymis.

    Notes: Summary The unicellular glands in the epidermis of the Indian freshwater fish Mastacembelus pancalus consist of three types of mucous cells and sacciform cells. The histochemical properties of their secretory glycoproteins have been analysed by means of a battery of histochemical methods. These included methods for the identification and simultaneous visualization of oxidizable vicinal diols, O-acyl sugars, O-sulphate esters and sialic acid residues with or without side-chain O-acyl variants. Four general classes of glycoproteins (GPs) were identified. These included (i) GPs with O-sulphate esters and oxidizable vicinal diols, (ii) GPs with oxidizable vicinal diols and sialic acid residues with or without O-acyl substitution at C7, (iii) GPs mainly with O-sulphate esters, low moieties of GPs with oxidizable vicinal diols, O-acyl sugars and sialic acid residues with side-chain O-acyl variant predominantly at C8 (or which are di- or tri-substituted) or C9 and in traces of sialic acid residues without O-acyl substitution or with O-acyl substitution at C7, and (iv) GPs with traces of oxidizable vicinal diols, O-acyl sugars and sialic acid residues with O-acyl substitution at C8 (or which are di- or tri-substituted) or C9. The physiological significances of these GP classes and their release on the surface of the epidermis are discussed with special reference to their role in lubrication, protection and inhibition of the invasion and proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms in the epidermis, as adapted to the peculiar mode of life of the fish.

    Notes: Summary In the planum nasolabial glands of the goat, glycoconjugates of glandular and duct cells have been studied by means of a series of electron microscopic cytochemical methods. In the glandular cells glycoconjugates with vicinal diol groupings were present in secretory granules, certain elements of the Golgi complex, lysosome-like dense bodies, the surface coat of the plasma membrane, the majority of intracellular cytomembranes, glycogen particles and the basal lamina. In duct cells, glycoconjugates with the same properties were localized in similar ultrastructures, except for secretory granules, which were not detected in these cells. By lectin cytochemistry, glycoconjugates in glandular cell secretory granules contained a variety of saccharide residues such as α-d-mannose, α-d-glucose,N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and α-l-fucose. The cytochemical properties of the secretory glycoconjugates are discussed in relation to the physiological functions performed by the planum nasolabial glands in the goat.

    Notes: Summary An efficient histochemical method has been worked out for the demonstration of deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) with light microscopy. This involves a hot hydrochloric acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate sequence followed by a physical development procedure. When applied to tissue sections from rabbit organs such as the spleen, cerebellum and testis, the new method has given excellent discrimination of nuclear DNA in all cells examined. Thus, the method is higher in efficiency and visibility of reaction products than the traditional hot HCl-Schiff (Feulgen) method used hitherto. Its specificity is also high.

    Notes: Summary For the precise histochemical detection of lectin binding sites of glycoproteins, the results obtained by lectin-gold-silver (LT-G-S) staining methods have been systematicaly compared with those revealed by alternative techniques of lectin-peroxidase-diaminobenzidine (LT-PO-DAB) reactions in a series of organs from different mammalian species.Ricinus communis agglutinin-I and concanavalin A were the lectins used in the present study. In the tissues subjected to the LT-G-S procedures, reactive tissue structures exhibited positive reactions of varying intensities of black. The results of control staining for the LT-G-S methods substantiated the view that the reaction products demonstrated the precise lectin binding sites of glycoproteins. The staining images obtained by the LT-PO-DAB techniques were not necessarily correlated precisely with those revealed by the LT-G-S procedures, and unavoidable background staining in pale brownish shades was noted in the majority of LT-G-S negative tissue structures. In view of these results, the LT-G-S staining methods employed in the present study are believed to be a reliable technique for the precise localization of saccharide residues of glycoproteins in light microscopy.

    Notes: Summary A method has been developed for the histochemical demonstration of unsaturated lipids in light microscopy. It is a peracetic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver protein sequence followed by a physical development procedure. In the present study on paraffin and cryostat sections of liver, brain and ovary, unsaturated lipids were visualized as distinct reaction products coloured various shades of brown and black. The reaction products are easier to see and the method is more efficient than the peracetic acid-Schiff method.

    Notes: Summary A double staining method has been developed for light microscopic immunohistochemistry. The technique consists of a sequence of protein A-gold-silver procedures, in which the reaction products are visualized in black and brown colours. The results obtained in the rat pancreatic islets and adenohyophysis, in combination with a variety of histochemical controls, substantiate both the specificity and reliability of this method. The double staining method is simple and economical, since the two differently coloured reaction products are obtained by a common mechanism of colouration (physical development) using a single probe, protein A-gold.
