چکیده
Lectin, a word of Latin origin, is a substance which is not triggered by antigenic stimulations in the immune system and which combines with an antigen in a way resembling that of an antibody. Accordingly, it can be described as a substance which can agglutinate cells or precipitate glycoconjugates, with a structure resembling a carbohydrate binding protein or glycoprotein and is not of immune origin (1).

Helminth C-type lectins and host-parasite interactions.
C-type lectins (C-TLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins intimately involved in diverse processes including vertebrate immune cell signalling and trafficking, activation of innate immunity in both vertebrates and invertebrates, and venom-induced haemostasis. Helminth C-TLs sharing sequence and structural similarity with mammalian immune cell lectins have recently been identified fro...
متن کاملThe effect of lectins on the attachment and invasion of Enteromyxum scophthalmi (Myxozoa) in turbot (Psetta maxima L.) intestinal epithelium in vitro.
The involvement of the lectin/carbohydrate interaction in the invasion of the turbot intestinal epithelium by Enteromyxum scophthalmi was studied in vitro using explants of turbot intestine and pre-treatment of parasite stages with the plant lectins of Canavalia ensiformis (Con A) and Glycine max (SBA). Both lectins inhibited the attachment and invasion of E. scophthalmi stages to the intestina...
متن کاملApplication of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as probiotic for Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) cultivated in a biofloc system
Probiotics can improve growth, survival and resistance to pathogenic organisms of the cultivated species in aquaculture systems with water recirculation. However, their possible benefits on biofloc systems have been less studied. In this study, the benefits of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacterium, on a biofloc culture of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. B. amyloliquefaciens was applied as d...
متن کاملAssessment of Improvement of Preventive Maintenance Systems Related to the Civil Projects Using Concepts of Value Engineering (RESEARCH NOTE)
The purpose of this paper is using the concepts of value engineering (VE) in evaluating the improvement caused by preventive maintenance (PM) systems in construction project. A real case is used to show how we can implement the proposed method. VE is the systematic application of recognized techniques by multi-disciplined teams that identifies the function of a product or service, establishes a...
متن کاملAssessment of Electrospinning Antioxidant Nanofibers in Skin Exposure to Oxidative Stress
Background and purpose: Some skin injuries are caused by occupational skin exposures that are resulted from production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress (ROS). Thus, protecting the skin is a key issue. Recently, several surveys have introduced novel alternatives such as nanofibers for skin protection. In this research, Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/gelatin (Gt)/ Vitamin E (VE) was i...
