swainsonine/インゲンマメ

A disease of the nervous system is reported in goats in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil. Histological examination showed diffuse vacuolation of neurons and epithelial cells of the pancreas, thyroid, renal tubules, and liver. The swainsonine-containing plant Ipomoea verbascoidea was found

Phytohemagglutinin, the glycoprotein lectin of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, has both high-mannose (Man(8-9)GlcNAc(2)) and modified oligosaccharide side chains. The modified side chains have glucosamine, mannose, fucose, and xylose in the molar ratios 2:3.8:0.6:0.5, and are resistant to

Galectin-1 is known to be one of the extracellular matrix proteins. To elucidate the biological roles of galectin-1 in cell adhesion and invasion of human anaplastic large cell lymphoma, we performed cell adhesion and invasion assays using the anaplastic large cell lymphoma cell line H-ALCL, which

Expression of beta 1-6 branched oligosaccharides in human breast cancer cells was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Lectin histochemical and lectin blotting analyses of surgically resected specimens were performed using L-PHA (phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinin) lectin, which binds to beta 1-6

OBJECTIVE Aberrant protein glycosylation and disassembly of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion are characteristics of epithelial cancer. However, the relationship between these two events in colorectal cancer remains to be defined. In this study, we analyzed whether N-glycan expression is
