Lectin binding on the guinea pig middle ear epithelium was ultrastructurally analyzed using eight biotinylated lectins in conjunction with streptavidin-gold complexes or using colloidal gold labelled lectins. The lectins were Canavalia ensiformis, Triticum vulgare, Griffonia simplicifolia II, Datura stramonium, Maclura Pomifera, Arachis hypogaea, Ricinus communis I, and Limax flavus. It is suggested that different sugar residues are present on the glycocalyx of different cell types of the epithelia in the middle ear.
