Lectins, glycine max (SBA) and Vicia villosa (VVA), which identify terminal N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc), stained the motor neurons of a patient with subacute motor neuronopathy associated with neoplastic angioendotheliosis. In normal controls and in patients with other neurological disorders
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) mutants lacking the ability to produce the lectin normally found in soybean seeds (SBL) are designated Le-. A protein of higher molecular weight that cross-reacts with antibodies raised to SBL was found at nearly equivalent levels in roots, hypocotyls, and leaves, and
The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of thirteen lectins, most being specific for D-galactose or N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, were compared. Two groupings are proposed on the basis of the CD in the near-ultraviolet region. Group one comprises the lectins from Arachis hypogaea, Glycine max, Phaseolus
Cell surface carbohydrates play an important role in several biological, immunological, and neoplastic phenomena including development, growth regulation, cellular locomotion, receptor activation, and tumour metastasis. Fluorescein labelled lectins which bind to specific carbohydrate residues in
Native porcine erythrocytes do not initiate blood coagulation, though even the weak association (Kd = 4,25 +/- 9,35 microM) of prothrombin with their surface which is limited to the projection of two phospholipid polar head groups onto the external cell membrane, exerts a slight but authentic
The major lectin in seeds of a soybean cultivar (Glycine max cv D68-127) has been purified to apparent homogeneity by hydroxyapatite and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. In the latter, the behavior of the lectin was similar to that of the minor isolectins previously described in other soybean
Seven plant lectins, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Griffonia simplicifolia agglutinin (GSA, isolectin A4), Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA), soybean (Glycine max) agglutinin (SBA), Salvia sclarea agglutinin (SSA), Vicia villosa agglutinin (VVA, isolectin B4) and Wistaria floribunda agglutinin
Quantitative precipitation studies have shown that the Man/Glc-specific lectin concanavalin A (ConA) forms homogeneous (homopolymeric) cross-linked precipitates with individual asparagine-linked oligomannose and bisected hybrid-type glycopeptides in the presence of binary mixtures of the
The lectin of Erythrina corallodendron (Caesalpiniaceae) seeds was purified by heating, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and affinity chromatography on acid-treated Sepharose. The purified lectin is similar to the soybean lectin in being a glycoprotein of molecular weight around 110 000 - 120 000 and
Availability of gram quantities of purified soybean lectin (SBL) to scientists will foster discovery of novel biomedical applications of the lectin and provide the opportunity to investigate the antinutritional effects of SBL in soybean-consuming food animals and poultry. Therefore, a
The pharmacological and biochemical characteristics of soluble alpha 2-adrenoceptors were investigated to determine whether differences observed in membranes were maintained in solution and to probe the nature of any such differences. alpha 2-Adrenoceptors were solubilized from purified plasma
Hyphomonas strain MHS-3 (MHS-3) is a marine procaryote with a biphasic life cycle and which has prosthecate stages that adhere to submerged substrata. We found that adherent forms produced an exopolysaccharide (EPS) capsule that bound Glycine max lectin, Arachis hypogaea lectin, and Bauhinia
Mucous cells and enteroendocrine cells of the pyloric region of the ruin lizard (Podarcis sicula campestris De Betta) have been examined by lectin histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. Binding to five plant lectins (Canavalia ensiformis, Con A; Triticum vulgare, wheat germ, WGL; Lotus
Distribution of lectin binding in the testis of the musk shrew, Suncus murinus, was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. Not only spermatogenic cells but also Sertoli cells bound some lectins. Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, Triticum
The cells of Actinomyces viscosus ATCC 19246 (Av19246) and Streptococcus sanguis ATCC 10557 (Ss10557) coaggregated immediately after mixing in 40 mM-Tris/HCl buffer. Optimal conditions were pH 7.5 in the presence of Ca2+ at 0.1 mM or higher. Na2 EDTA and its analogues, Na2MgEDTA and Na2MnEDTA at 7.5
