| INDEX | Lectin from fungi / / / / Sialic acid-binding lectins |
| CHARACTERIZATION | |
| BIOACTIVITY | The activity of the lectin was not dependent on with Ca++, Mn++, Mg++ cations and was apparently not blood group ABO specific. The hemagglutination caused by the lectin was inhibited by alpha lactose (Gal beta 1-->4 Glc alpha), but not by beta lactose (Gal beta 1-->4 Glc beta). I |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | BBL exhibits sugar binding specificity towards glycotope corresponding to Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen and its related sequences: Gal beta 1-->3 GalNAc > Neu Ac alpha 2-3 Gal beta 1-->3 (Neu Ac alpha 2-6) GalNAc > Gal beta 1-->4 Glc alpha. |
