By means of histochemical techniques, two lectins with nominal specificity for L-fucose, Tetragonolobus purpureas agglutinin (TPA), and Ulex europeus agglutinin (UEA) were found to specifically label the medullary area of murine thymuses. Although the binding of both lectins was restricted to the medullary area of the thymus, each staining pattern was unique. Cells binding UEA formed a reticular network throughout the medulla, whereas cells binding TPA occurred as single cells or small clumps of cells and resembled Hassall's corpuscles. The cells binding either lectin were identified as epithelial on the basis of ultrastructural features (tonofilaments, desmosomes, and keratohyalin bodies) and resembled Ia+ medullary epithelial cells described previously. An age-related decline in UEA binding was observed, whereas labeling with TPA remained unchanged. On the basis of the labeling patterns obtained with UEA and TPA and the reported specificities of these two lectins, it is suggested that the majority of the fucose detected is associated with type 1 carbohydrate chains.
