Structures of receptor complexes formed by hemagglutinins from the Asian Influenza pandemic of 1957
The viruses that caused the three influenza pandemics of the twentieth century in 1918, 1957, and 1968 had distinct hemagglutinin receptor binding glycoproteins that had evolved the capacity to recognize human cell receptors.

"Comparison of Midgut Hemagglutination Activity in Three Different Geographical Populations of Anopheles stephensi" [PDF]
Lectins that agglutinate red blood cells (RBCs) were demonstrated in Anopheles stephensi mosquito midgut extracts using human (four groups: A, B, AB and O, RH+) rat, sheep and rabbit blood cells. Only rabbit RBCs showed agglutination reaction against the

Dangerous universal donors: the reality of the Hemocentro in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais
BACKGROUND: The term dangerous universal blood donor refers to potential agglutination of the erythrocytes of non-O recipients due to plasma of an O blood group donor, which contains high titers of anti-A and/or anti-B hemagglutinins.

Influenza hemagglutinin membrane anchor [PDF]
Viruses with membranes fuse them with cellular membranes, to transfer their genomes into cells at the beginning of infection. For Influenza virus, the membrane glycoprotein involved in fusion is the hemagglutinin (HA), the 3D structure of which is known from X-ray crystallographic studies.

Simultaneous measurements of auto-immune and infectious disease specific antibodies using a high throughput multiplexing tool. [PDF]
Considering importance of ganglioside antibodies as biomarkers in various immune-mediated neuropathies and neurological disorders, we developed a high throughput multiplexing tool for the assessment of gangliosides-specific antibodies based on Biolpex ...

Presence of a low molecular weight lectin in the coelomic fluid of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus [PDF]
A low molecular weight (MW) lectin (Paracentrotus lividus small lectin, PlSL) has been found in the sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus. After gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, PlSL exhibits a MW of 13 kDa, while its hemagglutinating ...

Differential Receptor Binding Affinities of Influenza Hemagglutinins on Glycan Arrays
A library of 27 sialosides, including seventeen 2,3-linked and ten 2,6-linked glycans, has been prepared to construct a glycan array and used to profile the binding specificity of different influenza hemagglutinins (HA) subtypes, especially from the 2009
