The oligosaccharide content of glycoconjugates was studied at the olfactory epithelium of human fetuses ranging from 8 to 12 weeks of gestation by mean of peroxidase labelled lectins (DBA, PNA, WGA, SBA, ConA, LTA, UEA I). The main results demonstrated that: 1-The olfactory epithelium (olfactory cells, supporting cells and basal cells) was generally characterized by different amount of a-D-mannose, a-D-galactosamine, a-D-glucose, D-galactose-(beta 1-3)-N-acetyl-galactosamine, sialic acid and a-L-fucose. 2-At the 11th-12th week of gestation the largest amount of sugar residues was detected at the olfactory cells and at some basal cells. 3-At the 12th week of gestation, UEA I may be considered a specific marker of the olfactory cells in different stages of development.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
