Mannose-Binding Lectins as Potent Antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is mainly mediated by the interactions between the viral spike protein (S) and the ACE-2 cell receptor, which are highly glycosylated.

Molecular Cloning of Two Different Mannose‐Binding Lectins from Tulip Bulbs [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1996 Two lectins were isolated from the bulbs of Tulipa cv. Apeldoorn and their corresponding cDNA clones analyzed. The first, called TxLMII (second mannose-binding Tulipa hybrid lectin), is a novel mannose-binding tulip lectin.

Detection of Sugar-Lectin Interactions by Multivalent Dendritic Sugar Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Appl. Phys. Lett. 101, 053701 (2012), 2012 We show that single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) decorated with sugar functionalized poly (propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimer is a very sensitive platform to quantitatively detect carbohydrate recognizing proteins, namely, lectins.

Anti-inflammatory effect of glucose—mannose binding lectins isolated from Brazilian beans
Mediators of Inflammation, 1997 Selectins are essential for leukocyte recruitment in inflammation. Because of a lectin domain present in the selectin structure, we investigated the anti-inflammtory activity of six mannose–glucose binding lectins from brazilian beans: Dioclea guianensis-
