Histochemical Localization of Intestinal Disaccharidases: Application to Peroral Biopsy Specimens

Nature volume 213, pages 516–518 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

THIS communication describes a technique for localizing intestinal disaccharidases developed from that of Dahlqvist and Brun1. Intestinal biopsies were obtained by a multipurpose suction biopsy tube2 from four normal children and five patients with sucrose and isomaltose “intolerance”. Intestinal specimens from rats and guinea-pigs have also been investigated by the same procedure. The biopsies and animal tissues were rapidly frozen and stored at −25°. Sections from SJJL were cut in a cryostat, mounted on coverslips and fixed in cold acetone for 15 min.
