Mannose-Binding Lectin in HIV Infection [PDF]
Future Virology, 2008 Infection with HIV represents a significant global health problem, with high infection rates and high mortality worldwide. Treatment with antiretroviral therapy is inaccessible to many patients and efficacy is limited by development of resistance and side effects.

Structural determinants for activity and specificity of the bacterial toxin LlpA. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Lectin-like bacteriotoxic proteins, identified in several plant-associated bacteria, are able to selectively kill closely related species, including several phytopathogens, such as Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas species, but so far their mode of ...

Retrospective screening of serum IgG glycosylation biomarker for primary Sjögren’s syndrome using lectin microarray [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (PSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease resulting in significant loss of systemic gland secretory function. IgG glycosylation abnormalities had been found to play important roles in autoimmune diseases.

Differential effect of plant lectins on mast cells of different origins
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Histamine release induced by plant lectins was studied with emphasis on the carbohydrate specificity, external calcium requirement, metal binding sites, and mast cell heterogeneity and on the importance of antibodies bound to the mast cell membrane to ...

Anti-Retroviral Lectins Have Modest Effects on Adherence of Trichomonas vaginalis to Epithelial Cells In Vitro and on Recovery of Tritrichomonas foetus in a Mouse Vaginal Model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Trichomonas vaginalis causes vaginitis and increases the risk of HIV transmission by heterosexual sex, while Tritrichomonas foetus causes premature abortion in cattle. Our goals were to determine the effects, if any, of anti-retroviral lectins, which are

Activity of mannose‐binding lectin in centenarians [PDF]
Aging Cell, 2012 SummaryWe analyzed MBL2 gene variants in two cohorts of centenarians, octo‐nonagenarians and nonagenarians, and in the general population, one from Sardinia Island (Italy), recruited in the frame of the AKea study, and another from Campania (southern Italy), to search for haplotypes related to longevity.

Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Biomolecules, 2012 Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins

Microglial Lectins in Health and Neurological Diseases
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Microglia are the innate sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS) and are responsible for the homeostasis and immune defense of the CNS. Under the influence of the local environment and cell-cell interaction, microglia exhibit a multidimensional and
