The purification and serological and chemical properties of Vicia graminea lectin (VGA) and Vicia unijuga lectin (VUA) were described, and then the binding-specificity of anti-M and -N antibodies and both the lectins was discussed in this review. On the basis of the facts that Vgu glycoproteins
We investigated biosynthesis of Vicia graminea lectin (VGA)- and Vicia unijuga lectin (VUA)-binding (Vgu) glycoproteins, which are human malignant tumor-associated antigens, in cultured human tumor and non-tumor cells by pulse-labeling experiments with [35S]-methionine, followed by
Perchloric acid-soluble fractions (PASFs) were obtained from cyst fluids of human benign ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, benign dermoid cyst, "borderline" mucinous cystadenoma, and malignant ovarian clear cell carcinoma, and from fluids of malignant embryonal carcinoma and malignant serous
Naturally occurring polysaccharides isolated from the yeasts are the substances with versatile intriguing biomodulatory activities. One of the novel derivatives prepared from the (1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucan isolated from the cell walls of baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is sulfoethyl glucan
It has been shown by us that the human blood-group MN antigenic determinants are not the products of allelomorphic genes as believed so far, but that N is the precursor substance of M and that the allelomorph to the M gene is amorph. The determinant structure of the N antigen is branched and
Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease which plays an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. There are known inhibitors of that enzyme, such as pepstatin and potato inhibitor. In this study, we examined effects of the cathepsin D inhibitor from Vicia sativa L. seed hulls on cell cultures of
TheNp mutant of pea (Pisum sativum L.) is characterized by two physiological responses: growth of callus under pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L., Coleoptera: Bruchidae) oviposition on pods, and formation of neoplastic callus on pods of indoor-grown plants. Although these two responses are conditioned
Nodulin gene expresison was studied in Vicia sativa (common vetch) root nodules induced by several Rhizobium and Agrobacterium strains. An Agrobacterium transconjugant containing a R. leguminosarum symplasmid instead of its Ti-plasmid, that was previously shown to form "empty" nodules on pea,
We have previously reported that Vicia graminea lectin (VGA)- and Vicia unijuga lectin (VUA)-binding glycoproteins (Vgu glycoproteins), malignant tumor-associated antigens, exist in human meconium and amniotic fluid. To examine the origin of Vgu glycoprotein, their presence, some of their chemical
Vgu glycoprotein (Vicia graminea lectin- or Vicia unijuga lectin-binding glycoprotein) has been reported as oncofetal antigen, which is found in many kind of tumor tissues, amniotic fluid and fetal membranes. In autoradiography with an 125I-labeled Vicia unijuga lectin (VUA) probe and an
Vicia graminea- and Vicia unijuga-binding glycoprotein (Vgu glycoprotein) has been reported as a malignant tumor-associated antigen, which is found in various kinds of malignant tumor-tissues and ascitic and cyst fluids of malignant tumor patients, but not found in 20 kinds of normal human tissues.
Some guanidino compounds have been found to inhibit spontaneous mammary tumourigenesis in mice. In the present study, the effects of chronic treatment with Gold Banded Lily (Lilium auratum LindI) or Chinese Milk Vetch (Astragalus sinicus L), which contains L-arginine or L-canavanine, on spontaneous
Nowadays naturally occurring compounds with the potential antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects are of great importance for their prospective use in cancer chemoprevention and treatment. The new water soluble derivative of microbial polysaccharide beta-D-glucan-carboxymethyl glucan (CMG)
Vicia sativa L. (common vetch) is a potential food source for both human beings and animals because of its abundant nutritional composition. There is a lack of phytochemical study on the whole plant, and thus the objective of this study was to investigate the isolation of phytochemicals and evaluate
According to N.K. Jerne the somatic generation of immune recognition occurs in conjunction with germ cell evolution and precedes the formation of the zygote, i.e. operates before clonal selection. We propose that it is based on interspecies inherent, ancestral forces maintaining the lineage. Murine
