A new histochemical method using human placenta alkaline phosphatase for demonstrating concanavalin A binding sites on cell surfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human placenta alkaline phosphatase (HP-ALP), a glycoprotein, was stained histochemically for the purpose of examining the concanavalin A (Con A) binding sites on the cell surface. HP-ALP was bound to the cell surface by Con A. This simple method successfully detected Con A binding sites on the cell surface.

An Alkaline Phosphatase Lacking Wheat Germ Agglutinin Binding Sites Useful Enzyme for Lectin Assays with Comparable Activity to the Calf Enzyme
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...
متن کاملCharacterization of upstream activation elements essential for the expression of germ cell alkaline phosphatase in human choriocarcinoma cells.
Expression of the germ cell alkaline phosphatase is a highly regulated process tied to malignant transformation of the human placenta. Human choriocarcinoma cells (malignant trophoblasts) express primarily the germ cell alkaline phosphatase gene and only low or nondetectable levels of the placental alkaline phosphatase normally found in the human placenta. Here, we show that nucleotides -156 to...
متن کاملExpression of alkaline phosphatase loci in mammalian tissues.
Alkaline phosphatases [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1] have been examined in liver, bone, kidney, intestine, and placenta from nine mammalian species by quantitative inhibition and thermostability studies and compared with alkaline phosphatases in the corresponding human tissues. In humans, three kinds of alkaline phosphatase can be sharply differentia...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...
