General description

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, omnipresent, found in fungi, plants and animals. These oligomeric proteins are characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate recognition domain.

Application

Lectin from Helix pomatia has been used to study its binding activities in Gyrodactylus derjavini parasitizing fins of Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin is useful in glycoconjugate characterizing, imaging and targeting. Lectin participates in host recognition and tissue adhesion. Lectins shows resistance to proteolytic degradation in vivo.
HPA has anti-A human blood group specificity and has an affinity for terminal N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminyl residues. Conjugates are prepared from affinity purified lectin.

Analysis Note

Where reported, agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group A erythrocytes after 1 hour incubation at 25 °C.

A lethal effect of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss plasma containing intact complement factors on Gyrodactylus derjavini was demonstrated. It was associated with binding of complement factor C3 to certain carbohydrate-rich parasite structures. Parasites were exposed in vitro to plasma from
