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,

Differentiation-dependent glycosylation of cells in squamous cell epithelia detected by a mammalian lectin [PDF]

, 2002
The squamous stratified epithelia contain a proliferative (harboring mitotic activity) and a differentiating compartment. Due to the potential of protein-carbohyd rate interactions to regulate cellular activities we introduced a mammalian lectin to cyto-

Lectin microarray [PDF]

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2009
AbstractLectin microarray is a new technology that utilizes a panel of lectins immobilized on well‐defined substrate for high‐throughout analysis of glycans and glycoproteins. In this article, we have reviewed the fabrication and detection schemes in lectin microarray and discussed its novel applications in glycomics. We have also demonstrated a lectin

Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Mannose-binding lectin 2 polymorphisms do not influence frequency or type of infection in adults with chemotherapy induced neutropaenia. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding Lectin protein (MBL) has been suggested to be relevant in the defence against infections in immunosuppressed individuals.

High glucose disrupts oligosaccharide recognition function via competitive inhibition : a potential mechanism for immune dysregulation in diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2011
Diabetic complications include infection and cardiovascular disease. Within the immune system, host-pathogen and regulatory host-host interactions operate through binding of oligosaccharides by C-type lectin.
