The lectin microarray is a novel platform for glycan analysis, having emerged only in recent
years. Unlike other conventional methods, eg, liquid chromatography and mass …

KAZUHISA TAKETA in Hepatology a-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal serum protein (1, 2), and its
reappearance in mice with hepatoma was demonstrated by Abelev et al.(3) in 1963 and in …

We have explored the fundamental biological processes by which complex carbohydrates
expressed on cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids and in secretions of cells promote cell …

In this chapter we will discuss the detection, isolation, physicochemical properties, and
carbohydrate-binding specificity of lectins. The discussion will focus on those lectins that for …

The carbohydrate binding specificities of the leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin (L-
PHA) and erythroagglutinating phytohemagglutinin (E-PHA) lectins of the red kidney bean …

Most proteins within living organisms contain sugar chains. Recent advancements in cell
biology have revealed that many of these sugar chains play important roles as signals for …

The asparagine-linked sugar chains of human erythropoietin produced by recombinant
Chinese hamster ovary cells and naturally occurring human urinary erythropoietin were …

Post-translational modification of the scrapie prion protein (PrP) is thought to account for the
unusual features of this protein. Molecular cloning of a PrP cDNA identified two potential Asn …

Glycosylation is one of the most significant post-translational modifications occurring to
proteins, since it affects some of their basic properties, such as their half-life or biological …

The carbohydrate-binding specificities of pea lectin and lentil lectin have been determined
by testing the ability of radioactively labeled glycopeptides to bind to columns of pea lectin …
