We observed a wide distribution of the carbohydrate epitopes galactosyl alpha(1-3)galactose (gal alpha1-3 gal), alpha-glucoside and alpha-mannoside in mono- and heteroxenic trypanosomatids by using fluorescein-labelled lectins of Euonymus europaeus (EE) and Concanavalin A (Con A) as well as sera
Molecular cloning of the "old" but still unclassified Euonymus europaeus agglutinin (EEA) demonstrated that the lectin is a homodimeric protein composed of 152 residue subunits. Analysis of the deduced sequence indicated that EEA is synthesized without a signal peptide and undergoes no
Changes in the cell surface carbohydrates of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes induced by Amphotericin B (AmB) were assessed by chemical methods and by agglutination assay employing a panel of highly purified lectins of various sugar specificities. Escherichia coli K12 with mannose-sensitive fimbriae
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
Anti-gal antibodies directed against a carbohydrate epitope present in mouse laminin (galactosyl alpha 1-3 galactose) and detected in high levels in sera from patients in the acute phase of Chagas disease are responsible for the direct lysis (DL) of Trypanosoma cruzi blood forms independent of
The ultrastructural effects of 11 lectins on the intestinal brush border were examined by means of an in vitro rabbit ileal mucosal explant culture system. Five of the lectins that bind to oligosaccharides containing either N-acetylglucosamine (phytohaemagglutinin, Euonymus europaeus lectin,
