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

Detection of inflammation- and neoplasia-associated alterations in human large intestine using plant/invertebrate lectins, galectin-1 and neoglycoproteins [PDF]
, 1998 Commonly, plant and invertebrate lectins are accepted glycohistochemical tools for the analysis of normal and altered structures of glycans in histology and pathology.

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

PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Lectins and adhesins are involved in bacterial adhesion to host tissues and mucus during early steps of infection. We report the characterization of BC2L-C, a soluble lectin from the opportunistic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia, which has two distinct

Bone healing and Mannose-Binding Lectin
International Journal of Surgery, 2013 Non-union of a fracture is a phenomenon that may complicate bone healing. Consolidation of a fracture can be divided into three phases: inflammation, reconstruction, and remodeling. Both the complement system and the coagulation cascade interact at various steps throughout these phases. Several complement components are specifically associated with the

Characterization and antimicrobial activity of lectins purified from three Egyptian leguminous seeds
AMB Express, 2020 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that play vital roles in many biological processes. In this study, lectins from three Egyptian cultivars (fava bean, lentil, and pea) were isolated by precipitation with different concentrations of ammonium ...

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from poultry protect the intestinal epithelial cells of chickens from in vitro wheat germ agglutinin-induced cytotoxicity [PDF]
, 2018 Poultry fed on wheat-based diets regularly ingest wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) that has toxic effects in vitro on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) obtained from 14-d-old broilers.
