Antiproliferative effect of Canavalia brasiliensis lectin on B16F10 cells

Research in Veterinary Science, 2014
Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins with the ability to link to carbohydrates at the cell surface in a specific and reversible manner. Studies have showed that lectins are demonstrate immunomodulatory and antitumor agents. This study aims to evaluate the effect of lectin extracted from the seeds of Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) on murine melanoma ...

Canavalia brasiliensis seeds. Protein quality and nutritional implications of dietary lectin

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1994
AbstractThis study reports on the performance of rats fed with diets based on Canavalia brasiliensis seed proteins. The raw seeds are not a good regime, causing the animals to lose weight, exhibiting low net protein utilization (NPU) values, high nitrogen excretion and macroscopic alterations of key internal organs.

Antidepressant‐like effect of lectin from Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) administered centrally in mice

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2006
This study investigates the action of the central administration of the lectins isolated from Canavalia brasiliensis seeds (ConBr) and from Canavalia ensiformes seeds, (Concanavalin A, ConA) in the forced swimming test (FST) in mice. ConBr (1-10 micro g/site, i.c.v.), but not ConA, produced a decrease in the immobility time in the FST (observed at the ...

Canatoxin-, concanavalin A- and canavalin-cross-reactive materials during maturation of Canavalia brasiliensis (Mart.) seeds

Planta, 1993
The distribution of three cross-reactive materials (CRMs), a toxic protein analogous to canatoxin, CNTX-CRM, a lectin analogous to concanavalin A, Con A-CRM, and a major storage protein, canavalin-CRM, was investigated during successive stages of maturation of Canavalia brasiliensis Mart. seeds.

Comparison of immunomodulatory properties of mannose-binding lectins from Canavalia brasiliensis and Cratylia argentea in a mice model of Salmonella infection

International Immunopharmacology, 2016
The immunomodulatory properties of mannose-binding lectins ConBr (Canavalia brasiliensis) and CFL (Cratylia argentea) were investigated comparatively in a model of Salmonella infection. The lectins were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered to mice daily for three days before the bacterial challenge with Salmonella enterica Ser. Typhimurium (0.2 mL i.p.

Expression of the Canavalia brasiliensis Lectin (ConBr) in Tobacco Plants

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2006
Tobacco plants were transformed with gene constructs encoding prepro-ConBr (Canavalia brasiliensis lectin). Transgenic plants confirmed by PCR expressed the recombinant protein as revealed by Western blot. However, the apparent molecular mass of the recombinant polypeptide (ca.

Renal Effects Of The Lectin From Canavalia Brasiliensis Seeds

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2001
The lectin from the seeds of Canavalia brasiliensis (Con Br) was tested for its renal effects using the isolated perfusion rat kidney method. Three different doses were examined (3,10 and 30 microgram / ml), which were compared with a control group. The control group was perfused with only Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 6 percent BSA.

Expression of a Canavalia brasiliensis Lectin (ConBr) Precursor in Pichia pastoris

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2008
A precursor of ConBr, a glucose/mannose-binding plant lectin, was expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Western blot analysis of transformed cells detected an intracellularly recombinant protein band with ca. 34.5 kDa. The recombinant protein was apparently active as suggested by its strong interaction with the mannose-rich yeast cell debris.
