Lectin from the bulbs of Cyclamen mirabile which is an endemic species Turkey was successfully isolated by affinity precipitation with alginate in one step. The purified protein produced two bands showing a dimeric structure SDS-PAGE (13.5 and 14.8 kDa). C. lectin showed activity stability broad pH scale kept its haemagglutination temperature range 4-40°C. MgCl2 HgCl2 inhibited lectin. In this ...

This study aims to extract the phytochemical constituents and in-vitro evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity roots clerodendrum Indicum. Clerodendrum indicum (L.) kuntz. Commonly known as bharangi or chingari, belongs family verbenaceae. The plant is expectorant, stomachic, Anti-bronchitis, Anti-nociceptive, Anti-microbial, Anti-diarrheal, anti-oxidant anti-cancer. Preliminary screening reve...

Clerodendrum bungei Steud. es confirmada para la Flora Argentina, citada anteriormente sin material de referencia. Se presenta una breve descripción especie, fotos campo y comentarios sobre su distribución geográfica ecología. Además, se provee clave las especies adventicias nativas en Argentina.

the effects of clerodendrum capitatum (willd.) and phyllanthus fraternus (webster) powders were evaluatedin reducing callosobruchus maculatus (f.) and sitophilus zeamais (l.) adult emergence and cowpea and maize seed damage under laboratory conditions. the dried and powdered plant leaves were tested against the virgin weevils by exposing ten unsexed adults to concentration levels of 0, 500, 100...

background: fascioliasis is a chronic hepatic disease and may be resulted from mechani­cal/molecular parasite adhesion to host liver tissue. the aim of this study was to detect surface car­bohydrate and lectin, carbohydrate-binding protein isolation that might be responsible of this molecular binding. methods: the present experimental work was conducted in the department of medical parasitol­og...

background: lectins the multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins are also employed to ascertain differentiation and characterization of the specific cell surface carbohydrate ligands/ receptors of different cell types including spermatozoa and posses novel biomedical importance. objective: sf50 the sialic acid specific lectin was employed on goat cauda epididymal spermatozoa to investigate its...

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...

examples of inter- and intramolecular direct co-functioning of lectins and enzymes are summarized. the data indicate importance of lectin-enzyme relationships in molecular and clinical microbiology and medical biotechnology. lectin-enzyme relationships have extended prospects in medicine and biotechnology.
