Disease progression of tumors is accompanied by structural changes of the glycan chains of
cellular glycoconjugates. Within the concept of the sugar code the presence of …

In this study, Musca domestica pupae lectin (MPL) was screened for its immunomodulatory
effect on macrophages. The phagocytosis of macrophages was improved significantly when …

The stomach structure of birds presents variations that depend on the dietary habits of each
species (Turk, 1982; Ogunkoya and Cook, 2009). The proventriculus and gizzard constitute …

Endogenous lectins act as effectors of cellular activities such as growth regulation,
migration, and adhesion. Following their immunohistochemical localization in our previous …

The pathogenesis of canine pyometra is still unclear, but bacterial infection of the
endometrium, mediated by bacterial lectins, is suspected to induce pyometra. The aim of this …

Tandem-repeat C-type lectins (pattern-recognition receptors) with specificity for mannosides
are intimately involved in antigen recognition, uptake, routing and presentation in …

The development of submucosal glands of rat nasopharynx was studied with respect to their
morphological maturation and glycoprotein alterations during the postnatal period. This …

A combined use of NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling has enabled insight into
conformational features of the novel sugar–peptide adducts 1–3. Cyclic neoglycopeptide 1 …

Separation of epidermal stem cells from other populations in suspensions of epidermal cells
by sorting is hampered by a present lack of specific surface markers of this cell type. To …
