Lectins in Cervical Screening [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Cervical screening in low-resource settings remains an unmet need. Lectins are naturally occurring sugar-binding glycoproteins whose binding patterns change as cancer develops. Lectins discriminate between dysplasia and normal tissue in several precancerous conditions.

Lectins with Potential for Anti-Cancer Therapy
Molecules, 2015 This article reviews lectins of animal and plant origin that induce apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells and hence possess the potential of being developed into anticancer drugs. Apoptosis-inducing lectins encompass galectins, C-type lectins, annexins,

The search for lectin isolated from the mycelial cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus
Acta Mycologica, 2014 This study proved the presence of lectin in mycelial cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus. Lectin was excreted into the medium and its erythroagglutinating activity was not high.

Endogenous mammalian lectin localized extracellularly in lung elastic fibers. [PDF]
, 1984 An affinity-purified antibody preparation raised against a beta-galactoside-binding lectin from bovine lung was used to localize a similar lectin in rat lung by immunofluorescence and by electron microscopy after on-grid staining visualized with ...

Signalling through C-type lectin receptors: shaping immune responses
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2009 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) expressed by dendritic cells are crucial for tailoring immune responses to pathogens. Following pathogen binding, CLRs trigger distinct signalling pathways that induce the expression of specific cytokines which determine T ...
