The house musk shrew, Suncus murinus, has recently been recognized as a new experimental animal in the biomedical field of laboratory research. The animal, which is distributed mainly in Southeast Asia including the southern-most part of Japan, is classified under the subfamily of Crocidurinae categorized in the Insectivora. There is significant sexual dimorphism in morphology and histochemistry between the male and female submandibular glands of this animal, similar to that in mice. The most conspicuous sexual difference is that the male glands has a more well-developed granular duct (GD) cells as compared with those of the female gland1,2). Further, there are striking histochemical differences in the acinar compartment which consist of two types of cells:serous acini in the core region and mucous acini(demilunes) at the periphery. The mucous acinar cells of the male gland were shown to exhibit alcianophilia (pH 2.5), indicating the presence of acidic glycoproteins in this region, whereas the female gland lack this histochemical feature2). The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in terminal sugar of glycoconjugates between the male and female Suncus murinus submandibular glands by the use of lectin probes. Materials and Methods Four male and four female adult Suncus murinus were supplied by Dr. Matsuzaki, Central Institute for Experimental Animals

Histochemical evaluation of lectin binding in the submandibular glands of Suncus murinus.
