Lectins have been isolated from the bark of three members of the family Caprifoliaceae, Sambucus nigra (elder), S. racemosa (red-berried elder) and S. ebulus (dwarf elder), by affinity chromatography on fetuin-agarose, ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. They are all glycoproteins of M r
The glycosylation of pig gastric mucins, discharged in response to prostaglandin (PG) E2 and to three synthetic PGE-derivatives (misoprostol, nocloprost, rioprostil) was compared. After a 20 h culture period in the absence or presence of 1 micromol/l of one of the PGs, mucins were isolated by gel
The effects of seven lectins with various sugar-specificities on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by non-immunologic stimuli were studied. The non-immunologic stimuli used were three basic secretagogues, compound 48/80, bradykinin and PEI6 (polyethylenimine with a molecular
The existence and localisation of carbohydrate terminals in Enteromyxum scophthalmi stages was investigated at light (LM) and transmission electron microscopes (TEM) using lectin histochemistry techniques, with the aim of contributing to elucidate the participation of carbohydrate-lectin
A glycoprotein antigen with an apparent mw of 45 kD was observed to be predominant in the circulating immune complexes isolated from patients of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis as well as in the immune complexes prepared in vitro. Further characterisation of 45 kD antigen with trypsin showed
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpression is the most frequently observed cause of multidrug resistance in neoplastic cells. In our experiments, P-gp was expressed in L1210 mice leukemia cells (S cells) by selection with vincristine (R cells) or transfection with the gene encoding human P-gp (T cells).
A monoclonal antibody (MAb) that reacted with the cell-surface antigens of adrenocortical cells was generated against cell suspensions from guinea pig adrenal glands. Cell-surface membranes of the adrenocortical cells in all zones, i.e., zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis, were
