Lectins are present in microorganisms, plants and animals and have attracted great interest
due to their varied physiological roles in cell agglutination, anti-tumour, immunomodulatory …

The cDNA library of cowpea was constructed in λ ZAP II vector using poly (A+) RNA from
developing seeds of cowpea. Initially, to demonstrate the presence of lectin genes in the …

Lectins are a group of nonenzymatic carbohydrate-binding proteins that are present in
plants, animals and microorganisms. In the present study, DNA was extracted from the dried …

A galactose-specific lectin has earlier been isolated from the seeds of Dolichos lablab in our
laboratory by conventional protein purification methods. We now established conditions to …

A novel lectin, denominated ACLEC, was isolated from Annona coriacea seeds, belonging
to the Annonaceae family. The lectin presented one protein band in SDS-PAGE of 14 kDa …

An Apios americana lectin (AAL) and a lectin-like protein (AALP) were purified from tubers
by chromatography on Butyl-Cellulofine, ovomucoid-Cellulofine, and DEAE-Cellulofine …

A cDNA encoding tomato fruit lectin was cloned from an unripe cherry-tomato fruit cDNA
library. The isolated lectin cDNA contained an open reading frame encoding 365 amino …

A lectin has been isolated from seeds of the Phaseolus vulgaris cv.“Anasazi beans” using a
procedure that involved affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, fast protein liquid …

Lectins are diverse group of carbohydrate binding proteins distributed ubiquitously in plant
species. Lectins are the subject of intense investigation. Therefore, in the past few years …

In this paper, we report the cloning and characterization of the first mannose-binding lectin
gene from a gymnosperm plant species, Taxus media. The full-length cDNA of T. media …
