Abstract: | The present paper describes mucous cells in the forestomach glandular region which immunoreacted to antibovine pepsinogen serum in adult and young bactrian camels, Camelus bactrianus (female, 25 years old; female, 6 months old; from Hilar Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China, in August 1988). These immunoreactive cells in forestomach glandular regions also reacted to Alcian blue (pH 1.0) and/or periodic acid-Schiff. Cross-reactivity of antibovine pepsinogen serum against extracts from the forestomach glandular region was analyzed by Western blotting, supporting that this serum could detect pepsin and/or pepsinogen in the bactrian camel. It was suggested that mucous cells in forestomach glandular regions produce pepsinogen molecules. |
