The complete amino acid sequence of a lactose-binding Cytisus sessilifolius anti-H(O) lectin II (CSA-II) was determined using a protein sequencer. After digestion of CSA-II with endoproteinase Lys-C or Asp-N, the resulting peptides were purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid
The purpose of this study was to investigate the carbohydrate residue composition of cell surface in the developing epidermis and to define the chronological sequence of its alterations in human fetuses from the 10th to the 20th weeks of gestation and at the 23rd week of gestation, using a panel of
Changes of surface sugar residues in the large intestinal mucosa may be associated with malignant transformation and may be of importance in differentiating borderline lesions. To compare these changes in normal mucosa, adenomas, and carcinomas of the large intestine, we investigated modifications
A carbohydrate-binding peptide of the di-N-acetylchitobiose-binding Cytisus sessilifolius anti-H(O) lectin I (CSA-I) was isolated from the endoproteinase Asp-N digest of CSA-I by affinity chromatography on a column of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine oligomer-Sepharose (GlcNAc oligomer-Sepharose). The amino
Eleven biopsy specimens of normal skin and twenty-four biopsy specimens of psoriatic lesions were examined histochemically by using several lectins (Ulex europaeus, UEA-1; Dolichos biflorus, DBA; Bandeirea simplicifolia, BS-I; Concanvalia ensiformis, Con A; Triticum vulgaris, WGA; Ricinus communis,
The primary sequence of 247 amino acids of Maackia amurensis hemagglutinin (MAH) was determined using a protein sequencer. After digestion with endoproteinase Lys-C, Asp-N, Arg-C, or Glu-C of MAH, the resulting peptides were purified by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Binding of microvillus membranes (MVM) from newborn and adult rats by concanavalin A (Con A), Ulex europaeus (UEA I), Dolichos bifluorus (DBA), and Triticum vulgaris (WGA) was examined to determine the availability of carbohydrate-containing sites for these lectins on the intestinal surface during
Cell surface carbohydrates have been implicated in axon guidance and targeting throughout the nervous system. We have begun to test the hypothesis that, in the olfactory system, a differential distribution of cell surface carbohydrates may influence olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) axon targeting.
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
BACKGROUND
The results of the very few histochemical studies that have been performed so far on the lectin-binding profile of normal human epidermis are mostly controversial; thus, the carbohydrate residue composition of the cell surface in the latter still remains in dispute and the possible
Cell surface carbohydrate chains of human germ cell tumors were investigated histochemically using peanut agglutinin (PNA), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-1), and anti-I-(Ma) antibody. Of 16 cases of embryonal carcinoma in adult testis, peanut agglutinin, a
Cellular carbohydrate moieties of 65 human dysonotogenetic brain tumors (craniopharyngioma, epidermoid/dermoid, Rathke cleft cyst, germinoma and non-germinomatous germ-cell tumors) and 60 common brain tumors (glioma, meningioma, neurinoma and pituitary adenoma) were investigated histochemically
Cell surface carbohydrates in healthy oral mucosa (n = 15), leukoplakias without (n = 48) and with (n = 62) dysplasia, oral papillomas (n = 6) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) (n = 40) were examined using the lectins peanut agglutinin (PNA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA I), soybean agglutinin
The presence of cell surface carbohydrates was investigated in intact, non-fixed outer hair cells (OHCs) of guinea pigs using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and rhodamine (TRITC) lectins. By means of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) N-acetyl-D-glucosamine was shown in the entire OHC membrane,
Lectins labeled with 125I or conjugated with fluorescein were employed to study the carbohydrates on the surface of different stages of schistosomula of Schistosoma mansoni. Newly transformed schistosomula were shown to bind concanavalin A; the 60 000 and 120 000 dalton agglutinins from Ricinus
