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.

The underlying pathology of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN), the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide, is driven by the deposition of immune complexes containing galactose-deficient IgA1 [Tn(+)IgA1] in the glomerular mesangium. Here, we report that novel anti-Tn circulating immune complexes (anti-Tn
