Abstract
TINCTORIAL and histochemical differences between the surface cells of the stomach and the mucous neck cells described by Bensley are now classical knowledge1; moreover, physiological and biochemical differences between dissolved mucin and visible mucin have been established2. The stomach secretion has also been found to contain a mucoprotein, the polysaccharide moiety of which was identified as mucoitin disulphuric acid3,4.
