The distribution of binding sites for the fucose-selective lectin Ulex europaeus I and the terminal N-acetylgalactosamine-selective lectin glycine max in the human olfactory bulb were studied. These lectins bound to primary olfactory axons in the olfactory nerve layer and the glomerular layer. They
We report here the isolation and characterization of a peptide-N4-(acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase (peptide: N-glycanase) from soybean (Glycine max) seeds. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with 6.5% yield from defatted soybean meal extract by ion-exchange chromatography, gel
The aim of this research was to study the distribution and changes of glycoconjugates particularly their terminal sugars by using lectin histochemistry during mouse spinal cord development.
Formalin-fixed sections of mouse embryo (10-16 fetal days) were processed for lectin histochemical method. In
To determine whether basal TSH differed structurally from TRH-released TSH, the TSH obtained from 11 normal subjects before and after the iv administration of TRH was characterized using lectin-affinity chromatography. TSH was applied to the following lectins: lentil, ricin (both before and after
We examined lectin-histochemically the glycoconjugate expression in the follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) covering the nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) in the rat under specific pathogen-free (SPF) and conventional (CV) conditions and compared the results for SPF and CV rats as well as for
Gradient-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of human milk serum separated three high-Mr glycoprotein bands. The properties of the components corresponding to the three bands (tentatively termed 'Components C, B and A' in their order of migration) were compared by staining with four monoclonal
Conventional histochemical characterization of the mucus secretory apparatus is often difficult to reconcile with the biochemical analysis of respiratory secretions. This study was designed to examine the secretory glycoconjugates in airways using lectins with biochemically defined affinities for
Lectins were used to characterize mucin glycoproteins and other secretory glycoconjugates synthesized by a human colon adenocarcinoma-derived cell line which expresses a goblet cell phenotype. Despite being clonally derived, HT29-18N2 (N2) cells, like normal goblet cells in situ were heterogeneous
Lectin-binding and histochemical studies were integrated with a morphological description of colon development in rat fetuses to determine whether changes in glycoprotein sugars could be identified with stages of colon organogenesis. At 16 days gestation the colon consisted of a minute lumen
In the present study carbohydrate residues in taste buds (TBs) and adjacent epithelial formations of a teleostean fish, a frog and the rabbit were detected by means of lectin histochemistry. Biotinylated lectins from Pisum sativum (PSA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Triticum
Lectins from Ricinus communis and Glycine max, as well as wheat germ agglutinin and concanavalin A, caused a dose-dependent release of histamine from mast cells present in the mixed peritoneal cells from the rat. In addition, histamine release in an IgE-mediated and a compound 48/80-mediated
The isolated perfused mouse liver model was used to study the effects of various lectins on hepatic trapping and killing of Candida albicans. After mouse livers were washed with 20 to 30 ml of perfusion buffer, 10(6) C. albicans CFU were infused into the livers. At the time of recovery, 63% +/- 2%
Cell-surface carbohydrates of Entamoeba invadens trophozoites were analyzed using (a) a panel of highly purified lectins specific for molecules containing N-acetylglucosamine or sialic acid, N-acetylgalactosamine, galactose, mannose-like residues, and fucose; (b) Escherichia coli K-12 with
The binding of the legume lectins Phaseolus vulgaris E4 and L4, Glycine max agglutinin, Vicia faba agglutinin, and Pisum sativum agglutinin to intact differentiated Caco-2 cells and to brush border membranes of differentiated Caco-2 cells was investigated, and their impact on the cellular metabolism
The distribution of various sugars, that contribute to the composition of the carbohydrate components of the glycoprotein in the ultimobranchial tubule and the thyroid C-cells has been studied, using eight peroxidase-labelled lectins (Dolichos biblorus, Glycine max, Bauhinia purpurea, Helix pomatia,
