The aim of this study was to identify receptors present on the buccal mucosa in order to select appropriate lectins that will allow the retention of a dosage form within the oral cavity. Studies using human buccal cells, the avidin-biotin-complex/diaminobenzidine method for identifying lectin

Previous work has identified lectins that bind to the cells present on the oral mucosa for their potential use as a means of retaining a drug delivery system on the mucosal surfaces of the mouth. In this study, a radiolabelling technique was developed to allow the quantification of lectin binding to

The specificity of purified, peanut agglutinin has been studied immunochemically by quantitative precipitin and inhibition assays. The lectin showed substantial differences in precipitating with blood-group substances of the same specificity. Of the B substances tested, horse 4 25% completely

Molecular allergology research has provided valuable information on the structure and function of single allergenic molecules. There are several allergens in food and inhalant allergen sources that are able to interact with lipid ligands via different structural features: hydrophobic pockets,

Previous reports on the carbohydrate specificities of Amaranthus caudatus lectin (ACL) and peanut agglutinin (PNA, Arachis hypogea) indicated that they share the same specificity for the Thomsen-Friedenreich (T(alpha), Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) glycotope, but differ in monosaccharide

BACKGROUND Oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) is a rare disorder comprising malformations of the face, oral cavity, hands, and feet. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a more recently recognized feature of the syndrome. METHODS We now report on the clinical, radiological and
