Improved method of purifying some radiolabeled glycopeptide hormones.

چکیده
We describe a simplified method for purifying radiolabeled glycopeptide hormones (thyrotropin, lutropin, follitropin, and human choriogonadotropin), which results in preparations of over 95% immunoreactivity. This method is based on competitive elution from columns of the plant lectin, concanavalin A, and is applicable to glycopeptide hormones derived from several species.

Isolation of a glycopeptide fraction from the surface of the sea urchin egg that inhibits sperm-egg binding and fertilization
The role of cell surface glycoproteins of the sea urchin egg in binding sperm has been examined by studying the biological activity of glycopeptides derived from these glycoproteins. Glycopeptides were produced from egg surface glycoproteins by Pronase digestion. After fractionation by gel filtration the glycopeptides were tested for their ability to inhibit the binding of sperm to eggs, presum...

Introduction: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease and disorder that occurs when endometrial cells are shed through the fallopian tubes and are implanted on the surfaces of pelvis and abdomen. They form lesions that respond to hormones of the menstural cycle and will stimulate inflammation. It is controversial whether [99mTc]Tc-RBC scan would be sufficient for lo...
متن کاملValidation of VITEK 2 version 4.01 software for detection, identification, and classification of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci.
We evaluated the ability of the new VITEK 2 version 4.01 software to identify and detect glycopeptide-resistant enterococci compared to that of the reference broth microdilution method and to classify them into the vanA, vanB, vanC1, and vanC2 genotypes. Moreover, the accuracy of antimicrobial susceptibility testing with agents with improved potencies against glycopeptide-resistant enterococci ...

The avb3 integrin is an important cell adhesion receptor involved in tumor-induced angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. Here we describe the F-labeling of the RGD-containing glycopeptide cyclo(-Arg-Gly-Asp-DPhe-Lys(sugar amino acid)-) with 4-nitrophenyl 2-[F]fluoropropionate and the evaluation of this compound in vitro and in tumor mouse models. Binding assays with isolated immobilized avb3, avb5...
