Abstract：
:Ultracytochemistry of polysaccharides and specific sugar residues reveals differences in the surface staining pattern between developmental forms of Trypanosoma brucei. The techniques used were the PA (periodic acid)-TCH (thiocarbohydrazide)-silver albumose reaction for the polysaccharides, and the Concanavalin A (Con A)-perioxdase-DAB coupling method for specific sugar residues. Blood and metacyclic forms, both possessing a surface coat, stain distinctly for carbohydrates at the level of the pellicular membrane. The external portion of the bloodform coat lacks any positive staining. Pellicles of non-coated culture and vector forms react only faintly for polysaccharides, whereas heavy staining of oxidized peroxidase/DAB reaction product, indicative of sugar bound Con A, occurs. It is suggested that the sugar moieties of the coat glycoproteins are located close to the membrane-coat junction.
