Characterization of an intelectin-1 (Itln1) knockout mouse model

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Intelectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins implicated in innate immunity and highly conserved across chordate evolution, including both ascidians and humans.

Evaluation of the Potential of a Lectin Extracted from Polygonumpersicaria L. as a Biorational Agent against Sitophilusoryzae L.

Molecules, 2022
Rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most destructive stored-product pests that is resistant to a wide range of chemical insecticides. In the present study, we investigated whether a lectin extracted from Polygonum

Carbohydrate recognition and complement activation by rat ficolin-B [PDF]

, 2010
Ficolins are innate immune components that bind to PAMPs and structures on apoptotic cells. Humans produce two serum forms (L-and H-ficolin) and a leukocyte-associated form (M-ficolin), whereas rodents and most other mammals produce ficolins-A and -B ...

Symbiotic Gene Sym31 Controls the Presence of a Lectinlike Glycoprotein in the Symbiosome Compartment of Nitrogen-Fixing Pea Nodules

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
The distribution of a lectinlike glycoprotein, PsNLEC-1, was examined with a specific antiserum in nodule tissue from a symbiotically defective pea mutant, Sprint2Fix¯(sym31), and the parent line, Sprint2.

Characterization and functional analysis of mouse Ficolin B [PDF]

, 2012
The innate immune system contributes day by day to the elimination of invading pathogens. The lectin pathway of the complement system is initiated when mannose-binding-lectin (MBL) or ficolins interact with MASP-2.

Development and verification of PCR based assay to dectect and quantify garden pea lec gene

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2012
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entering the food chain have became its part, which is necessary to monitor. GMO analyses are used as a control mechanism according to valid acquis communautaire for traceability and labeling of GMOs.

AIDS patients have increased surfactant protein D but normal mannose binding lectin levels in lung fluid. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) are collectins that have opsonic and immunoregulatory functions, are found in lung fluid and interact with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
