Lectins hold great promise not only as reagents for diagnostics and drug discovery but also
as a novel class of biopharmaceutical products. In fact, new research directions in the last …

Lectins are (glyco) proteins capable of reversibly binding to specific carbohydrates, thus
having various functions and applications. Plant lectins are the best studied, and the …

Isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) and hemagglutination inhibition measurements
demonstrate that a chemically and enzymatically prepared form of porcine submaxillary …

The antiproliferative activity of lectins Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Canavalia
brasiliensis (ConBr) were studied using human leukemia MOLT-4 and HL-60 cell lines. It …

This study aimed to evaluate the abilities of plant and algae lectins to inhibit planktonic
growth and biofilm formation in bacteria and yeasts. Initially, ten lectins were tested on …

A novel plant lectin has been isolated from the seeds of Talisia esculenta and partially
characterized. The purified lectin showed two protein bands in SDS-PAGE (20,000 and …

The natural physiological ligands for selectins are oligosaccharides found in glycoprotein or
glycolipid molecules in cell membranes. In order to study the role of sugar residues in the in …

This study describes the purification of an N-acetylglucosamine-binding lectin from
Koelreuteria paniculata seeds and its effects on the larval development of Callobruchus …

Arum maculatum agglutinin (AMA) is a monocot lectin isolated from tubers of Arum
maculatum L.(Araceae) which exhibits different specificity towards oligo-mannosidic-type …

A haemagglutinating protein from the saline extracts of Kalanchoe crenata leaves, which
agglutinate all human blood types, was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange …
