We described the staining pattern of deposits in 4 cases of the staining method employing corneal dystrophy by avidin-biotin peroxidase complex employing biotinated lectins as intermediate products. The specimens consisted of 8 keratoplasty specimens obtained from 2 cases of granular dystrophy and 4 cases of lattice dystrophy and one case each of primary droplet dystrophy and Reis-Bücklers dystrophy. In two cases with granular dystrophy, deposits stained positively with WGA and with Con A in one case. The deposits found in lattice dystrophy were stained with WGA in 3 cases and with Con A in one case. The deposits noted in primary gelatinous droplet dystrophy were stained with WGA and those in Reis-Bücklers dystrophy were not stained with any lectin. The staining patterns suggested that the deposits found in granular and lattice dystrophy possess N-acetyl-D-glucosamine as a sugar residue. They may possess alpha-D-mannose and/or alpha-D-glucose.

D037102 Lectins Proteins that share the common characteristic of binding to carbohydrates. Some ANTIBODIES and carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. PLANT LECTINS are carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been primarily identified by their hemagglutinating activity (HEMAGGLUTININS). However, a variety of lectins occur in animal species where they serve diverse array of functions through specific carbohydrate recognition.
