Two isomers are produced by the usual synthesis. Most publications imply they are interchangeable when used for the preparation of the isothiocyanate for fluorescent labeling.

The immunopotentiating effect of the roots of Astragalus membranaceus, a medicinal herb, has been associated with its polysaccharide fractions (Astragalus polysaccharides, APS). We herein demonstrate that APS activates mouse B cells and macrophages, but not T cells, in terms of
We have examined the effects of a variety of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates on the organization and morphology of cultured A14CL-1 endothelial monolayers. The sulphated fucose-containing polysaccharides, fucoidin and sea-urchin egg jelly fucan, induce a dramatic disruption of the organization of
To determine molecular information about the antioxidant properties of human serum albumin, which is an important extracellular antioxidant. To obtain this information, we studied this function of the protein by using H2O2 as the representative reactive oxygen species and two

The sulfated polysaccharide carrageenan (CGN) induces activation of NFkappaB and interleukin 8 (IL-8) in human colonic epithelial cells through a pathway of innate immunity mediated by Bcl10 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 10). In this report, we identify Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a
It is important to effectively maintain and modulate the bioactivity of protein-nanoparticle conjugates for their further and intensive applications. The strategies of controlling protein activity via "tailor-made surfaces" still have some limitations, such as the difficulties in further modulation of
