چکیده

despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (alp) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. the glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (wga). as a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can not be used when lectin is on the solid phase in lectin based elisa systems. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity and lectin binding property of an alp from the hepatopancreas of shrimp pandalus borealis as an alternative for the calf enzyme. while the problem of non-specific binding to wga lectin was circumvented with the shrimp enzyme, the activity of the new studied enzyme was seen to be higher than the calf enzyme. studies of the effect of magnesium ion concentration on both enzymes demonstrated a major effect of the cation on shrimp enzyme and a relatively minor effect on the calf alp. conjugation of the shrimp alp with streptavidin can be used in enzyme amplification technique in lectin based elisa using wga

Alkaline phosphatase for immunocytochemical labelling: problems with endogenous enzyme activity.

Alkaline phosphatase may be used as a label for immunocytochemistry and can be demonstrated in tissue sections using the single step naphthol phosphate method. Endogenous enzyme activity may not be destroyed by fixation in formalin, formol alcohol, Carnoy's or Baker's solutions and should be inhibited before results are assessed. Either Bouin's solution or periodic acid followed by potassium bo...

Identification of rat serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme by means of wheat germ agglutinin.

Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) precipitates bone type serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) isoenzyme specifically. The precipitates are composed of the macromolecules of WGA and "bone type sALP" (WGA-ALP complex). In order to use bone type sALP as a marker in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), a method to separate "bone type sALP" from the "WGA-ALP complex" was established by using N-acetyl-D...

Structural basis of multivalent binding to wheat germ agglutinin.

The inhibition of carbohydrate-protein interactions by tailored multivalent ligands is a powerful strategy for the treatment of many human diseases. Crucial for the success of this approach is an understanding of the molecular mechanisms as to how a binding enhancement of a multivalent ligand is achieved. We have synthesized a series of multivalent N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) derivatives and s...

Wheat Germ Agglutinin

Procedures for the isolation, purification, and crystallization of wheat germ agglutinin are described. The agglutinin was purified 184-fold to homogeneity from commercial wheat germ lipase. A molecular weight of 23,500 was estimated for the protein by means of sedimentation equilibrium and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The agghxtinin is a glycoprotein. Amino acid and carbohydrate...
