Abstract
BIOLOGICAL work on salivary glands has revealed that sialic acid is the only acidic component in the bovine submaxillary gland and probably in the sublingual gland of the rat1–3. These findings resulted in the elaboration of a method for the removal of sialic acid in tissue sections known to contain abundant amounts of this sialo-mucin4,5. Such a method consisted of exposing the sections to acid hydrolysis at different pH's and temperatures.
