Fetuin-agarose is an agarose conjugate in saline suspension used in affinity chromatography, protein chromatography and specialty resins. Fetuin-agarose columns have been used in studies that inform the detection and quantification of tumor markers.
A lectin was isolated and characterised from Salvia bogotensis seeds. Removal of the abundant pigments and polysaccharides, which are present in seeds, was an essential step in its purification. Several procedures were assayed and the best suited, including Pectinex treatment

During malaria and other infections, the plasma concentration of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) increases 3- to 4-fold, but the function of this glycoprotein has been unknown. This study demonstrates, by in vitro culture of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, that
A cell-ELISA was developed using monolayers of glutaraldehyde-fixed normal as well as Plasmodium berghei-infected mouse erythrocytes for quantification and characterization of anti-erythrocytic autoantibodies in murine malaria. Testing normal (NMS) and peak parasitaemic sera (PPS) on erythrocyte monolayers treated with trypsin

A synthetic peptide resembling the C2 region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 (C2-Lai: amino acids (aa) 273-288), inhibited (C50 = 200 microM) gp120 calcium-dependent binding of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl and mannosyl residues exposed on natural glycoprotein bovine fetuin whereas

A beta-galactoside-binding activity has been detected in mammalian brain extracts using a hemagglutination test and a nerve cell aggregation assay. Inhibition studies suggested the involvement of lectin-carbohydrate interactions in these processes. In an attempt to explore further the biological role
