Terminal alpha (1,3) galactosyl galactoside epitopes (alpha-gal) on membrane glycoproteins expressed by vascular endothelial cells represent the major xenoreactive antigens in pig to primate xenotransplantation. In other discordant xenotransplantation combinations, such as from guinea pig to rat,
Trypanosome trans-sialidase (TS) is a sialic acid-transferring enzyme that hydrolyzes alpha2,3-linked sialic acids and transfers them to acceptor molecules. Here we show that a highly purified recombinant TS derived from T. cruzi parasites targets TrkA receptors on TrkA-expressing PC12 cells and
Seeds from the legume tree Maackia amurensis contain two lectins that can agglutinate different blood cell types. Their specificity toward sialylated oligosaccharides is unique among legume lectins; the leukoagglutinin preferentially binds to sialyllactosamine
