Abstract Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and domestic cattle (Bos taurus) are closely related species. However, embryo
transfer interspecies has been attempted without any success. The failure in hybrid embryo-implantation is associated
with the glycocode in the maternal-fetal interface. Glycosylation patterns have been studied in different species of
ruminants; however, in B. bubalis, only the binucleated cells (BNC) have been analyzed. This glycocode is essential for
a successful embryo-implantation and can be defined by Lectin-Histochemistry (LHC). The aim of this study is to
compare the glycosylation pattern of placenta and uterus in water buffaloes and cattle by LHC. Tissue samples of
placenta… More >
