The cell surfaces of bacteria are replete with diverse glycoconjugates that play pivotal roles in determining how bacteria interact with the environment and the hosts that they colonize. Studies to advance our understanding of these interactions rely on the availability of chemically defined glycoconjugates that can be selectively modified under orthogonal reaction conditions to serve as discre...

Glycoconjugates in secretory epithelium of the anterior lingual salivary glands of chicken have been studied by means of light microscopic histochemical methods. A series of staining procedures were employed including peroxidase labeled lectin diaminobenzidine methods and digestion techniques with neuraminidase or α amylase. The terminal portion of the anterior lingual gland consisted of mucous...

altered glycosylation of proteins in cancer cells is one of the main processes responsible for anaplasia, invasion and metastatic potential of neoplastic cells. lectins are nonimmunogenetic compounds which specifically detect certain terminal sugars of glycoconjugates. the aim of the present study was to identify the n-acetylgalactosamine (galnac) containing glycoconjugates in cancer cells in a...

Present study investigated the protective effect of apigenin on cell surface glycoconjugates abnormalities in 7, 12-dimethyldenz(a)anthracene(DMBA) induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis. DMBA painting in the hamster buccal pouch three times per week for 14 weeks developed oral squamous cell carcinoma. The levels of glycoconjugates (Protein bound hexose, Hexosamine, Lipid bound sialic acid...

Four lectin-fluorescent marker conjugates (Con A-F, MPA-F, PNA-F, WGA-R) were used for visualizing their binding sites on tissue sections by fluorescent microscopy. The immature enamel, Tomes' processes and distal cytoplasm of ameloblasts were stained with MPA-F and WGA-R on paraformaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue sections. The MPA- and WGA-binding glycoconjugates seemed to be main ...

The status of glycoconjugates (protein bound hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid and fucose) in plasma or serum serve as potential biomarkers for assessing tumor progression and therapeutic interventions. Aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of two major soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, in combination on the status of glycoconjugates in plasma, erythrocyte membr...
