Variation in the saccharide lectin binding pattern from different isolates of Tritrichomonas foetus

- Saccharide patterns of 28 T. foetus isolates were analyzed by lectincytochemistry.
- D-mannose, D-glucose, N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid residues were predominant.
- A low concentration of N-acetylgalactosamine, L-fucose and galactose was observed.
- Labeling variations could be related to differences in the isolates pathogenicity.
