Incubation of T. cruzi epimastigotes with the lectin Cramoll 1,4 in Ca(2+) containing medium led to agglutination and inhibition of cell proliferation. The lectin (50 microg/ml) induced plasma membrane permeabilization followed by Ca(2+) influx and mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation, a result that
Cramoll 1,4 is a lectin extracted from seeds of Cratylia mollis Mart. Many assays have shown the cytokine release activity and pro-inflammatory profile of this lectin. Here, we used Cramoll 1,4 in the treatment of cutaneous wounds in normal and immunocompromised mice for available your cicatricial
CRAMOLL 1 is a mannose/glucose isolectin isolated from Cratylia mollis seeds. This lectin has 82% sequence identity with Con A and essentially the same quaternary structure. As with Con A, CRAMOLL 1 seems to undergo complex post-translational processing which makes it difficult to the use of
The lectin from the seeds of Cratvlia mollis shows strong binding to human malignant cancerous tissues, particularly those from many glands, uterus, rectum and brain. The C. mollis lectin has been crystallized using the hanging-drop method with polyethylene glycol 6000 as a precipitant. Two
BACKGROUND
Regeneration corresponds to the replacement of damaged cells with ones that have the same morphology and function. For experimental evaluation of materials that may favor the process of bone healing, defects are created with dimensions that prevent spontaneous regeneration. For the
Cratylia mollis is a natural forage plant from the Northeast of Brazil. C. mollis seed lectin (Cramoll) containing molecular forms 1 and 4 (Cramoll 1,4) has shown anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activities. This work analyzed the effect of Cramoll 1,4 on experimental schistosomiasis in mice.
Hemagglutinating activity has been associated to presence of lectin, carbohydrate-binding proteins. In this work Crataeva tapia bark lectin (CrataBL) was purified in milligram quantities (28 mg per g of bark) by ion exchange chromatography. The lectin was thermo-stable, ion-independent and
pCRAMOLL 1 is a major, non-glycosylated isolectin found in seeds of Cratylia mollis, which belongs to the Leguminosae family and the Diocleinae subtribe. The lectin (~25 kDa) consists of 236 amino acids, sharing 82% identity and virtually identical topological architecture with concanavalin A. Both
Carbohydrate-protein interactions play a key role in many biological processes. Cramoll is a lectin purified from Cratylia mollis seeds that is taxonomically related to concanavalin A (Con A). Although Cramoll and Con A have the same monosaccharide specificity, they have different glycoprotein
The mitogenic effect of Cratylia mollis seed lectin preparations containing two (Cramoll 1,4) or one molecular form (Cramoll 1) showed activity similar to the well known T-cell mitogen, concanavalin A (Con A). The effect on human lymphocytes was analyzed through a colorimetric assay using
The research for new biomarkers of cancer has studied the role of fetuin glycoprotein on the metastatic disease diagnosis. Cratylia mollis is a lectin with high finity to fetuin, and used here to differentiate prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. A label-free electrochemical nanosensor
An alternative to accelerate the osseointegration on titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) used in osseointegrated implants is through the functionalization of these nanostructured surfaces with biomolecules. In this work, we immobilized a lectin with recognized mitogenic activity, the Cramoll lectin,
The partitioning and purification of lectins from the crude extract of Cratylia mollis seeds (Cramoll 1,4) was investigated in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). A factorial design model (24) was used to evaluate the influence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass (1500-8000
The electrochemical potentials for free or immobilized Cratylia mollis seed lectin (Cra) were obtained through potentiostatic techniques. A saline solution was used as support to control the charge distribution between saturated calomel electrode and platinum electrode (working electrode). The
Cratylia mollis lectin has already established cytokine induction in Th1 and Th2 pathways. Thereby, this study aimed to evaluate Cramoll 1, 4 in IL-6, IL-17A, IL-22, and IL-23 induction as well as analyze immunologic memory mechanism by reinducing lymphocyte stimulation. Initially we performed a
