objective(s) the aim of this study was to investigate glycoconjugates distribution patterns as well as their changes during the course of pituitary portal vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. materials and methods formalin fixed paraffin sections of 10 to 20 days of sprague dawly rat fetuses were processed for histochemical studies using four different horseradish peroxidase (hrp) conjugated lectin...

results in this study, 45 (13.4 %) urine samples were positive for candida species (17 males and 28 females). the most common isolated yeast was candida albicans (34%), followed by c. glabrata (32.1%), c. tropicalis (9.4%), other candida species (22.6%), and rhodotorula species (1.9%). the mean serum levels of mbl were 0.85 ± 0.01 ng/ml and 1.02 ± 0.03 ng/ml among candiduric patients and contro...

background: ‍‍cryopreservation has some detrimental impacts on sperms surface molecules. modification of the sperm surface molecules can affect on fertility rate. one of the important surface molecules are glycoconjugates. objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of content of the glycocalyx after standard cryopreservation procedure. materials and methods: forty five h...

Clerodendrum pholomidis is an important medicinal plant of Lamiaceae. Leaves, internode and petiole explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D), kinetin (kn) and indole-3 butyric acid (IBA). Leaf explants formed clusters of globular somatic embryos directly from epidermal cells within 12-15d when cultured ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes non-communicable diseases in world. In 2015, about 8.8 million cancer deaths worldwide and lung was most common type highest cause death. Therapy for can be either conventional therapy or molecular targeted still has many limitations. It therefore important to explore new sources anticancer activity, including those from plants. One plant that thought have ac...

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...

Abstract Siglec-8, a lectin involved in the suppression of allergic responses, is considered therapeutic target for developing glycan materials that enable regulation inflammatory diseases. In such materials, “multivalent effect” essential regulating immune responses. The dramatically increases apparent affinities (avidities) glycan-lectin interactions by clustering ligand multivalently. Numero...
