...L. Biermann; H.-J. Gabius; H.-W. Denker Regulation of the initial phase of embryo implantation may involve the recognition interplay of glycoconjugates and respective receptors such as endogenous lectins on both cellular surfaces. Whereas changes in glycoconjugate composition have been detected...

... and derivation of the various fibrinoid components, however, is still fragmentary. Therefore, the present histochemical study on acetone-fixed placental tissue sections compared the staining pattern of FITC-con-jugated lectins from Ulex europaeus (UEA-I), Bandeiraea simplicifolia (BS-I) and Lycopersicon...

...S. Gheri Bryk; G. Gheri; E. Sgambati; G.C. Balboni Lectin binding histochemistry was used to investigate the glycoconjugate saccharidic moieties in the respiratory epithelium of human fetuses ranging in age from the 8th to the 12th week of gestation. The distribution and changes in the sugar...

...U.K. Bains; S. Sehgal; S.R. Bawa Ten fluorescein isothiocyanate (FΙTC)-linked lectins [Bauhimia purpurea, Concanavalin A, Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Griffonia simplicifolia I, Griffonia simplicifolia II, Madura pomifera, Arachis hypogea (PNA), Glycine max, Ulex europaeus (UEA) and Triticum vulgaris...

...J. Moré The bulbourethral glands of 2-month-old calves were studied by means of lectin histochemical methods. The lectin-binding sites for each considered lectin can be divided into three groups according to their zonal topography. In the first group including PNA, MPA, RCAl5 SB A and BPA binding...

...S. Doehm; W. Breipohl; W. Lierse; K. Romaniuk; W. Young The existence of lectin-binding sites was investigated in the cecum of Balb-c mice at seven developmental stages ranging from 18 days post conception (p.c.) to 8 weeks after birth. Nine horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated lectins (concanavalin...

...G. Gheri; Gheri Bryk; G.C. Balboni Lectin-binding histochemistry was used to investigate the distribution and the changes of the glycoconjugate saccharidic moieties in the olfactory epithelium of human fetuses ranging from 8 to 12 weeks of gestation. It was found that the basal cells...

... matrix. The present study was designed to localize glycoconjugates recognized by peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Madura pomifera (MPA) lectins during mouse molar root development. Postnatal ICR mice at 10, 15, 21, 28 and 42 days were used. Lower jaws were dissected, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, decalcified...

...R.R. Hill; G. de Bruyn Lectin-binding and histochemical studies were integrated with a morphological description of colon development in rat fetuses to determine whether changes in glycoprotein sugars could be identified with stages of colon organogenesis. At 16 days gestation the colon consisted...

...J. Moré; G. Van Haverbeke; P. Cabanié; F. Benazet; J. Sautet The nature of mucins synthetized by the major vestibular glands of normal female calves and animals treated by anabolic drugs was investigated by usual histochemical methods and by lectin conjugate methods: Canavalia ensiformis (Con...

... in the 1950s, and subsequently in glycoproteins. He focuses on the identification of soybean agglutinin as the first known plant protein of this class, to which a widely occurring N-linked oligomannoside is attached, and continues with an account of his work on the coral tree lectin that contains plant...

..., the spatial and temporal patterns of lectin-reactive epitopes and selected receptor types are presented and discussed with regard to their potential importance to physiological craniogenesis. Fig. 13 Enhanced, but not selective versican deposition between aggregating prechondral cells (C). Day 15...

...H. Rüdiger Plant lectins are easily available, fairly stable and suitable for many kinds of chemical modification. Thus, they have become important tools in glycosciences. In the present review, it is attempted to throw light upon aspects of lectinology that deal with their natural occurrence...

...A. Villalobo; H.-J. Gabius The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways. Similar...
