Isolation and characterization of a mitogenic substance for murine and human B lymphocytes from Ulex europeus seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

A mitogenic substance, which stimulates murine and human B lymphocytes, has been isolated from the seeds of Ulex europeus. The m.w. of this mitogen was estimated to be approximately 100,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate disc gel electrophoresis. Under physiologic conditions Ulex mitogen was in the form

Surface reaction of Leishmania. III. Ulex europaeus II lectin affinity for excreted factor (EF) serotype A strains.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eukaryotic parasites, including species of Leishmania, acquire or synthesize carbohydrate moieties similar to human blood group antigens. Leishmanial strains separate into three serotypes: A, B and AB. All strains containing the A component are agglutinated by Ulex europaeus lectin. Inhibition by

Thrombomodulin as a marker for vascular tumors. Comparative study with factor VIII and Ulex europaeus I lectin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thrombomodulin (TM) is a newly described endothelial cell-associated protein that functions as a potent natural anticoagulant by converting thrombin from a procoagulant protease to an anticoagulant. Various vascular tumors were characterized with immunoperoxidase staining with the use of a

Deposition of alpha 1-antitrypsin and loss of glycoconjugate carrying Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I binding sites in the glomerular sclerotic process. Phenomena common to chronic pyelonephritis and chronic diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sclerotic processes of glomeruli in chronic pyelonephritis (CPN) and chronic diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (CDPGN) were investigated in a lectin binding study in connection with an immunofluorescent examination of protease inhibitor deposition. Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I (UEA-I), which

Serine protease immunohistochemistry and lectin histochemistry in the small intestine of weaned and unweaned pigs.

Only registered users can translate articles

The distribution of goblet cells containing serine protease and of those binding the lectin Ulex europaeus agglutinin-1 (UEA-1) in the pig small intestine is altered during the period after weaning. Goblet cells exhibiting binding of other lectins were not altered. These alterations and other

Bystander protein protects potential vaccine-targeting ligands against intestinal proteolysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Endowing mucosal vaccines with ligands that target antigen to mucosal lymphoid tissues may improve immunization efficacy provided that the ligands withstand the proteolytic environment of the gastro-intestinal tract until they reach their destination. Our aim was to investigate whether and how three

Altered protein patterns in brains of children with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by massive intralysosomal accumulation of storage materials. We have studied the protein patterns in 5 NCL, 5 control, and one Alzheimer disease brains. When protein patterns in NCL and control

Spontaneous eosinophilic granulated round cell tumors in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Morphologic and histochemical characteristics were noted for three spontaneous tumors with eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules that occurred in aged Fischer 344 rats. Macroscopic lesions were widely distributed in the body, mainly involving the intra-abdominal adipose tissue, pancreas, and

Litomosoides carinii: characterization of surface carbohydrates of microfilariae and infective larvae.

Only registered users can translate articles

The carbohydrate moieties of microfilariae (Mf) and infective larvae (L3) have been investigated by lectin-binding technique. Mf derived from three sources, namely, uteri (in utero), released in vitro from adults and from blood of rodents infected with Litomosoides carinii were examined by using

Relationship between native and recombinant cholecystokinin receptors: role of differential glycosylation.

Only registered users can translate articles

In an attempt to establish the relationship between the protein encoded by the recently cloned type A cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor cDNA and the two distinct plasmalemmal proteins on the rat pancreatic acinar cell that were previously described as candidates to represent this receptor, we have

New relationships between prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and prostatic carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Our group has been studying the progressive molecular changes in prostatic epithelium which precede the invasive phenotype. Initial studies revealed similar alterations in cytoskeletal proteins between high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) lesions and invasive carcinoma. Specifically

Effects of plant lectins on the adhesive properties of baby hamster kidney cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

We studied the effects of different lectins on the adhesive properties of baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The purpose of these studies was to learn more about the cell surface receptors involved in cell adhesion. Three adhesive phenomena were analyzed: 1) the adhesion of BHK cells to lectin-coated

Partial characterisation of carbohydrate-rich Echinococcus granulosus coproantigens.

Only registered users can translate articles

Coproantigen ELISA based tests for diagnosis of canine echinococcosis provide high specificity and sensitivity. However, the antigenic molecules present in faeces from infected dogs have not yet been characterised. While initial attempts to determine the molecular weights of Echinococcus granulosus

Fluorochrome-coupled lectins reveal distinct cellular domains in human epidermis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The distribution of saccharide moieties in human interfollicular epidermis was studied with fluorochrome-coupled lectins. In frozen sections Concanavalin A (Con A), Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCAI), and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) stained intensively both dermis

Biochemical characterization of hamster oviductin as a sulphated zona pellucida-binding glycoprotein.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oviductins are a family of glycoproteins, synthesized and released by oviductal secretory cells, which bind to the zona pellucida of the oocyte after ovulation. Hamster oviductin migrates as diffuse species of 160-350 kDa during SDS/PAGE under reducing as well as non-reducing conditions. In this
