Diagnostic Value of Lectins in Differentiation of Molar Placentas
Objective(s)Distinction of hydatidiform moles from non-molar specimens and subclassification of hydatidiform moles as complete and partial are important for clinical practice, but diagnosis based solely on histomorphology suffers from poor interobserver reproducibility. Nowadays, pathologists rely on molecular techniques, however these methods are technically difficult, relatively expensive, an...
متن کاملLectins in human pathogenic fungi.
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed in nature. They constitute a highly diverse group of proteins consisting of many different protein families that are, in general, structurally unrelated. In the last few years, mushroom and other fungal lectins have attracted wide attention due to their antitumour, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities. The present mini-re...
متن کاملLectins in castor bean seedlings.
The amounts of the two lectins (ricin and Ricinus communis agglutinin) in tissues of castor bean seedlings were followed during germination and early growth. For measurement, lectins in extracts were separately eluted from Sepharose columns; an antibody to the agglutinin was also used to detect the lectins by immunodiffusion. The endosperm of the dry seed contains 3.5 mg total lectin (5.6% of t...
متن کاملLectins: To Combat Infections
The term “lectin” was coined by William Boyd in 1954 from the Greek word “legere” which means “to select” or “to bind”. Lectins and hemagglutinins are proteins/glycoproteins of non-immune origin, which have at least one non-catalytic domain that exhibits reversible binding to specific monosaccharides or oligosaccharides (Lis and Sharon, 1986). The lectinmonosaccharide interactions are relativel...
متن کاملNeisseriaceae and Lectins
The lectin slide agglutination test for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been modified and improved. Results show that wheat germ agglutinin and soybean lectin agglutinate 100% (193 of 193 tested) of clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae. Lectin-reactive meningococci can be readily identified by the hydrolysis of gammaglutamyl-3-naphthylamide. Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria lactamica, Neisseria sicc...
