Vicia cretica: a powerful lectin for T- and Th- but not TK- or other polyagglutinable erythrocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracts of the seeds of Vicia cretica (NO Leguminosae) strongly agglutinate T- Th- but not Tk- or other polyagglutinable red cells. The V. cretica lectin is therefore a very useful laboratory reagent in the elucidation of erythrocyte polyagglutination due to T-like erythrocyte cryptantigens.

BS II lectin: a second hemagglutinin isolated from Bandeiraea simplicifolia seeds with affinity for type III polyagglutinable red cells.
BS II lectin, a second hemagglutinin isolated from Bandeiraea simplicifolia seeds, agglutinated the red cells from 11 patients manifesting the 'acquired B' antigen phenomenon. The results of serological studies indicate that this lectin has specificity for the type III polyagglutinable receptors rather than for the 'B-like' antigens present on 'acquired B' red cells. Two other blood samples whi...
متن کاملSerological studies on an alpha-D-galactosyl-binding lectin isolated from Bandeiraea simplicifolia seeds.
Abstruct. The serological characteristics of a highly purified a-D-galactosyl-binding lectin, isolated from extracts of Buntfeiraen siniplicifoliu seeds, are described. These studies show that the lectin preferentially agglutinates group B red cells and in addition has the capacity to distinguish between group A, and group A, erythrocytes. Since the lectin is not absolutely specific for group B...
متن کاملIn vivo and in vitro activation of T-antigen receptors on leukocytes and platelets.
Serological studies on a patient whose red cells are polyagglutinable due to T activation have demonstrated concomitant T activity of the separated leukocytes and platelets. Normal leukocytes and platelets are not T active, but activation can be induced in vitro by treatment with neuraminidase or with pneumococcus type III filtrate. Such T-active cells absorb anti-T from Arachis hypogea lectin....
متن کاملThe B4 lectin from Vicia villosa seeds interacts with N-acetylgalactosamine residues alpha-linked to serine or threonine residues in cell surface glycoproteins.
We have examined the carbohydrate binding specificity of the B4 lectin from Vicia villosa seeds. The B4 lectin agglutinates Tn-exposed erythrocytes specifically and binds to these erythrocytes (1.4 X 10(6) sites/cell) with an association constant of 4.2 X 10(7) M-1. The concentrations of saccharides and glycopeptides of defined structure which cause 50% inhibition of B4 lectin binding to Tn-exp...
متن کاملThe Tn antigen-specific lectin from ground ivy is an insecticidal protein with an unusual physiology.
Leaves of ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) contain a lectin (called Gleheda) that is structurally and evolutionary related to the classical legume lectins. Screening of a population of wild plants revealed that Gleheda accounts for more than one-third of the total leaf protein in some clones, whereas it cannot be detected in other clones growing in the same environment. Gleheda is predominantly ...
