  • Title: Fluorescent and Ferritin Labelling of Cuticle Surface Carbohydrates of Caenorhabditis elegans and Panagrellus redivivus.

    Journal: J Nematol; 1986 Oct; 18(4):570-4. PubMed ID: 19294228.
    Abstract:
    Caenorhabditis elegans and Panagrellus redivivus were investigated for surface carbohydrates using fluorescent-labelled and ferritin-labelled lectins. Rhodamine-labelled Concanavalin A was specifically located in the cephalic region of both species. Rhodamine-labelled wheat germ agglutinin was located over the entire cuticle of P. redivivus but was absent on C. elegans. Rhodamine-labelled peanut agglutinin and Limax flavus agglutinin did not label nematodes of either species. Galactose and sialic acid were not detected on either species, whereas mannose-glucose residues were specifically localized in the head areas of both species. No detectable N-acetylglucosamine occurred on C. elegans, but it was evenly distributed over the cuticle surface of P. redivivus.
