Abstract

Changes in the small intestinal mucin contents in rats were evaluated by two methods, viz., a newly established ELISA and a method based on the measurement of O-linked oligosaccharide chains (OSC) as a mucin marker. Significant correlation was observed between the values of ELISA-derived mucins and OSC. The results confirm the usefulness of measurement of OSC as an alternative method for mucin determination.
