beta galactosidase/sambucus

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of hormonal status and bacterial vaginosis (BV) on the glycosidases present and glycosylation changes as assessed by lectin binding to cervicovaginal lavage constituents. Frozen cervicovaginal lavage samples from a completed study examining the

Many cell surface receptors contain covalently linked carbohydrates recognizable by lectins. This study examined the feasibility of using lectins as gene delivery vectors. Polylysine (PL) and histone (His) conjugates of concanavalin A (Con A), Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA), Sambucus nigra

Two glycoproteins were isolated from lysates of thioglycollate-stimulated, murine peritoneal macrophages by affinity chromatography on immobilized Griffonia simplicifolia I lectin and by preparative SDS/PAGE. The glycoproteins were readily labeled on the surface of intact macrophages with 3H and

In this study, we characterized the glycome of cervical-vaginal fluid, collected with a Catamenial cup. We quantified: glycosidase levels; sialic acid and high mannose specific lectin binding; mucins, MUC1, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC7; and albumin in the samples collected. These data were analyzed in the
