Sarcophaga lectin which is induced in the hemolymph of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh-fly) larvae when their body wall is injured with a hypodermic needle, was shown to participate in the lysis of sheep red blood cells introduced into the abdominal cavity of the larvae. This finding indicates that
Our purpose was to investigate a possible relationship between severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) and polymorphism of the mannose binding lectin gene and investigate the role of allele variant as a possible factor in the susceptibility to S-ECC. Sixty-two Chinese children with S-ECC and 68
Objective: With the development of human genomics, the genetic factors associated with dental caries have receiving increasing attention. This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between lactoferrin (LTF) and
Expression patterns of glycoconjugates were examined by lectin histochemistry in the nasal cavity of the Japanese red-bellied newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. Its nasal cavity consisted of two components, a flattened chamber, which was the main nasal chamber (MNC), and a lateral diverticulum called the
A panel of fifteen biotinylated lectins was used to study the saccharides associated with the epithelial component of normal and leukoplakic mucosa and squamous cell carcinoma, from a variety of locations in the oral cavity. Lectin binding heterogeneity was found between various sites of normal
The aim of this study is to analyze two polymorphisms in exon 1 of Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene in children with carious teeth and children caries-free in order to determine the frequencies of these polymorphisms and to investigate possible association between MBL polymorphisms and dental
The delivery of therapeutic agents to, or via, the oral cavity is limited by the efficient removal mechanisms that exist in this area. Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins that bind to specific sugar residues, and can, therefore, interact with the glycoconjugates present on cell surfaces or
Lectins from the seeds of Jackfruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) and winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) were isolated using an immobilized N-acetyl D-galactosamine column and conjugated to type VI horse radish peroxidase. The purified conjugate was used for the study of tissue specificities
BACKGROUND
The D-mannose binding lectin ArtinM is known to recruit neutrophils, to degranulate mast cells and may have potential therapeutic applications. However, the effect of ArtinM on mast cell recruitment has not been investigated.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats were injected i.p. with ArtinM or ConA
The aim of this study was to identify receptors present on the buccal mucosa in order to select appropriate lectins that will allow the retention of a dosage form within the oral cavity. Studies using human buccal cells, the avidin-biotin-complex/diaminobenzidine method for identifying lectin
Sections from the nasal cavity of 12-day-old Swiss albino mice (NMRI strain) were subjected to lectin histochemistry. A panel of biotinylated lectins (Con A, WGA, s-WGA, PNA, SBA, DBA and UEA I) and a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated lectin (GSA II) showed marked differences in binding to the
Dissociated cells from the extraembryonic endoderm of gastrulating chick embryos form aggregates when cultured in rotating flasks. The large cellular aggregates are initially solid but subsequently cavitate to form hollow, thin-walled vesicles. These cells also contain an endogenous
The present investigation was undertaken to assess the binding characteristics of eight different lectins to normal oral mucosa (11 cases), leukoplakia with varying degrees of dysplasia (five cases), and oral mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (12 cases) by the use of biotinylated lectins and avidin
