Haemonchus contortus is one of the most economically important parasites infecting small ruminants worldwide. This nematode has shown a great ability to develop resistance to anthelmintic drugs, calling for the development of alternative control approaches. Because lectins recognize and bind to
Recently we have describe a simple efficient chemical method of generating an asparagine side-chain linker with beta-stereochemistry at the anomeric position of neutral oligosaccharides. We now report the 1-N-glycyl beta-derivatization of sialylated saccharides. Several neoglycoconjugates formed
Hapten inhibition measurements on the precipitin reaction between Pisum sativum lectin and Pichia pinus phosphomannan showed the lectin to bind D-mannose, D-glucose, D-fructose and L-sorbose. Unmodified hydroxyl groups at the C-4 and the C-6 positions of the D-glucopyranose ring were essential for
Use was made of seven FITC labelled lectins as tools to investigate the surface of Onchocerca lienalis larvae as they develop through to the infective third-stage in a natural vector, Simulium ornatum. The lectins were derived from Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Lens culinaris (lentil), Triticum
The carbohydrate-binding specificity of lectins from the seeds of Canavalia maritima and Dioclea grandiflora was studied by hapten-inhibition of haemagglutination using various sugars and sugar derivatives as inhibitors, including N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-acetylmuramic acid. Despite some
Precipitation induced by different lectins has been studied in the presence of some aminoacids. It was shown that precipitates formed by lectins from Ricinus communis (RCA1), Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Euonymus europaeus (Eel) in the presence of appropriate carbohydrate-containing molecules
The turkey sperm glycocalyx is known to contain residues of sialic acid, alpha-mannose/alpha-glucose, alpha- and beta-galactose, alpha-fucose, alpha- and beta-N-acetyl-galactosamine, monomers and dimers of N-acetyl-glucosamine, and N-acetyl-lactosamine. Potential changes in these carbohydrates
In the present investigation, we examined the role of trophoblast and parietal endoderm cells in the synthesis of carbohydrate-containing components of Reichert's membrane. To eliminate the function of Reichert's membrane as a filter between maternal and embryonal tissues we carried out our
OBJECTIVE
To analyze carbohydrate structures in basal laminar deposit (BLD), an extracellular material that accumulates between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Bruch's membrane. BLD has been shown to correlate positively with visual loss in age-related macular degeneration.
METHODS
Thirteen
Previous studies using the lectin RCA-I from Ricinus communis have indicated that several lysosomal enzymes in the fibroblasts of patients deficient in beta-galactosidase carry excess terminal galactose. Electrophoretic studies have shown that the same enzymes and the non-lysosomal adenosine
Despite years of study, a comprehensive picture of the binding of the lectin from Canavalia ensiformis, concanavalin A, to carbohydrates remains elusive. We report here studies on the interaction of concanavalin A with methyl 3,6-di-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside, the minimum
The jack bean lectin concanavalin A (ConA) and the Dioclea grandiflora lectin (DGL) are highly homologous Man/Glc-specific members of the Diocleinae subtribe. Both lectins bind, cross-link, and precipitate with carbohydrates possessing multiple terminal nonreducing Man residues. The present study
4-(N-Methylcoumarin-7-yl) glycamines were employed in studying asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains of acid desialylated fetuin. The procedure was optimised for the reductive amination of oligosaccharides with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin in the presence of Na(CN)BH3 to lead to oligosaccharide
The seed lectin from Dioclea grandiflora and jack bean lectin concanavalin A (ConA) are both members of the Diocleinae subtribe of Leguminosae lectins. Both lectins have recently been shown to possess enhanced affinities and extended binding sites for the trisaccharide,
The Man/Glc-specific seed lectin from Dioclea grandiflora (DGL) is a member of the Diocleinae subtribe that includes the jack bean lectin concanavalin A (ConA). Both DGL and ConA bind with high affinity to the "core" trimannoside moiety, 3, 6-di-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside,
