Prolongation of the initial periodate oxidation step of the periodate-borohydride technique/potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff and periodic acid-Thionin Schiff/potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff sequences produced little or no change in the diagnostic staining for the potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff effect, exhibited by the colonic epithelial mucins of man and rat and the Brunner's gland mucin of rabbits. In contrast, there was a gradual, but clear decrease in the intensity of such staining of bovine submaxillary gland mucins. It was concluded that, in the intestinal mucins studied the potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff effect was due to sialic acids bearing O-acyl substitutents at positions C7 and/or C8 whereas in bovine submaxillary gland mucin the potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff effect is probably due, at least in part, to the presence of 9-O-acyl sialic acids. This investigation has led to the development of a technique which can be used to identify 9-O-acyl sialic acids.

Carbonyl Function

The mechanism and distribution of the KOH-periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) effect in rat large intestine, human sigmoid colon, rabbit rectum and rabbit Brunner's glands have been investigated following the abolition of normally occurring PAS-positive vicinal diols by means of a periodate oxidation-sodium borohydride reduction sequence. The KOH-PAS effect was shown to be independent of the initial oxidation time and could be abolished by pretreatment with either methanolic-HCl or alcoholic KOH. The evidence suggests that the KOH-PAS effect is due to the removal of an o-acyl-ester substituent on a potential vicinal diol. The alternative hypothesis, that the effect is due to an ester involving the carbonyl function of a macromolecule or a lactone, is less likely. The difficulty of interpretation of histochemical results following methylation is discussed.

Bismuth Subnitrate

A simple technique is described for the ultrastructural localization of periodate-reactive mucosubstances and polysaccharides containing 1,2-glycols in thin sections of routinely fixed tissues. In this method the sugar residues are oxidized by periodic acid and the resulting aldehydes presumably reduce chelated bismuth subnitrate to metallic bismuth which then appears as a fine electron-opaque precipitate at the sites of the reducing sugars. The periodic acid-alkaline bismuth procedure provides a high resolution electron microscopic technique for demonstrating tissue sites of periodate-engendered groups very similar to the light microscopic periodic acid-Schiff reaction. The reaction can be prevented by the omission of periodate oxidation or alkaline bismuth subnitrate and by aldehyde blockage with the blocking agent, m-aminophenol. However, glycogen stains markedly without prior periodate oxidation, presumably through chelation of bismuth by hydroxyl groups. Other structures which stain without prior periodate oxidation are liver lysosomal dense bodies and, occasionally, ribosomes.
