Distribution of α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialosides in the respiratory organs of a cat. The α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialosides in the respiratory organs of a naïve cat were detected with biotinylated Maackia amurensis lectin I or II (MAAI, MAAII) or Sambucus nigra lectin (SNAI), respectively. +, antigens were detected.

Figure 7. Distribution of α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialosides in the respiratory organs of a cat, New York, NY, USA. The α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialosides in the respiratory organs of a naïve cat were detected with biotinylated Maackia amurensis lectin I or II (MAA I, MAA II) or Sambucus nigra lectin (SNA I), respectively. Inset shows closer view of MAA III binding with alveolar epithelium in the lung. Plus signs (+) indicate that sialosides were detected. Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
