A novel 14-kDa lectin from Annona coriacea seeds (ACLEC) with hemagglutinating activity
on erythrocytes has been recently described. Since plant lectins are known to present …

To explore the pathways by which lectins induce an inflammatory response, the lectin from
Vatairea macrocarpa (VML) seeds was used to induce neutrophil migration in rats. The …

Neutrophil migration is responsible for tissue damage observed in inflammatory diseases
and is also implicated in inflammatory nociception. The use of lectins has been …

Recent studies have shown that lectins are promising tools for use in various
biotechnological processes, as well as studies of various pathological mechanisms …

A novel lectin from Talisia esculenta seeds (TEL) has recently been purified and
characterized. In this study we investigated the proinflammatory activity of TEL in mice using …

In the present study, we investigated the involvement of resident cell and inflammatory
mediators in the neutrophil migration induced by chemotactic activity of a glucose/mannose …

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

In this study, we tested the potential use of a lectin from Lonchocarpus sericeus seeds (LSL),
to control neutrophil migration and inflammatory hypernociception (decrease of nociceptive …

Lectins are ubiquitous proteins that exhibit selective and reversible carbohydrate-binding
activities, and have become increasingly known as cell recognition mediators in a wide …

Objective and design: Since some plant and mammalian lectins specific for
monosaccharides are able to induce neutrophil migration, we studied the neutrophil …
