Plant Phenolics and Lectins as Vaccine Adjuvants
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2019 Background: The immune system is responsible for providing protection to the body against foreign substances. The immune system divides into two types of immune responses to study its mechanisms of protection: 1) Innate and 2) Adaptive. The innate immune response represents the first protective barrier of the organism that also works as a regulator of

Lectins, lectin genes, and their role in plant defense. [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1991 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that bind gly? cans of glycoproteins, glycolipids, or polysaccharides with high affinity (Goldstein and Hayes, 1978). Because of their binding specificity, they have the capability to serve as recognition molecules within a cell, between cells, or be? tween organisms. It is assumed that lectins play fundamental

Lectins as Plant Defense Proteins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1995 Many plant species contain carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are commonly referred to as either lectins or agglutinins. Generally speaking, lectins are proteins that bind reversibly to specific monoor oligosaccharides. Since the initial discovery of a hemagglutinating factor in castor bean extracts by Stillmark in 1888, several hundred of these ...
