How is the Distribution of Fucosylated Glycoconjugates Studied?
The distribution of fucosylated glycoconjugates is studied using various histological techniques. Lectin histochemistry, employing fucose-binding lectins, is commonly used to visualize these molecules in tissue sections. Additionally, immunohistochemistry with specific antibodies against fucosylated epitopes can provide detailed localization. Advanced techniques like mass spectrometry and glycan profiling are also employed to analyze their structures and distributions in tissues.
