While the exact mechanism of hepatitis A virus (HAV) accumulation remains unclear, it has been demonstrated that viruses related to shellfish-borne gastroenteritis can bind to carbohydrates of oyster tissues. We investigated carbohydrate-binding sites to determine if they were related to the binding
The accuracy and sensitivity of PCR-based methods for detection of hepatitis A virus (HAV) are dependent on the methods used to separate and concentrate the HAV from the infected cells. The pH and ionic strength affect the binding affinity of the virus to cells. In this study, we initially
Lectin histochemistry revealed that Kupffer cells in the normal liver bound lectins such as Concanavalin A (Con A), Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) and Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), but did not bind Peanut agglutinin (PNA), Dolichos fibflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I) or
BACKGROUND
The authors encountered six patients with Kaposi sarcoma in Okinawa; one was classic type, two were associated with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), one was with multiple myeloma, and two were with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In the classic type, many nodular lesions were seen
The sinusoidal endothelial cells of human liver can be identified by light and electron microscopy, but there appear to be no specific immunocytochemical markers of these cells. Among specific markers available for vascular endothelial cells in general, Ulex europaeus I lectin (UEA I) is the most
Liver biopsy specimens with or without liver diseases were examined immunohistochemically to determine the distribution of endothelial cell markers, factor VIII-related antigen (FVIII-RAg). Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I) lectin and PAL-E. We also investigated the localization of laminin, a
