Figure 4. Alterations in simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens in gastric mucosa from mice exposed to Pteridium aquilinum. Panel A –

Figure 4

Schematic representation of the biosynthesis of simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens. The enzymes or family of enzymes responsible for each step of the biosynthesis are indicated. The enzymes identified as showing different expression levels in Pteridium aquilinum treated mice (Group 2) are highlighted in red (increased expression) and blue (decreased expression). Panel B – Immunohistochemistry of simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens, Tn (a,b), STn (c,d), T (e,f) and ST (g,h) in gastric mucosa of control (Group 1) (a,c,e,g) and Pteridium aquilinum treated (Group 2) (b,d,f,h) mice. Bar = 20 µm.
