Lectins are ubiquitous proteins/glycoproteins of non-immune origin that bind reversibly to
carbohydrates in non-covalent and highly specific manner. These lectin-glycan interactions …

Lectins are proteins/glycoproteins of non-immune origin that agglutinate red blood cells,
lymphocytes, fibroblasts, etc., and bind reversibly to carbohydrates present on the apposing …

Lectins are widely distributed in the natural world and are usually involved in antitumor
activities. Auricularia auricula (A. auricula) is a medicinal and edible homologous fungus. A …

Mushrooms are known to possess a diversity of bioactive compounds that include lectins,
which are proteins or glycoproteins that bind specifically to cell surface carbohydrates …

A xylose-specific intracellular lectin, showing hemagglutination only with rabbit erythrocytes
was purified from mycelium of Fusarium sambucinum which was designated as FSL. An …

Eight Fusarium sp. namely, F. acutatum, F. globosum, F. graminearum, F. lactis, F. nivale, F.
proliferatum, F. pseudoanthophilum and F. robustum were screened for the presence of …

Lectins are non-immunogenic carbohydrate-recognizing proteins that bind to glycoproteins,
glycolipids, or polysaccharides with high affinity and exhibit remarkable ability to agglutinate …

In the current study, 55 Penicillium species were screened for lectin activity using
erythrocytes of human ABO, pig, sheep, goat and rabbit. Only four Penicillium species …

Lectins are the glycoproteins known to bind specifically to carbohydrates on the cell surface.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses produce lectins that in turn …

Lectins, proteins mainly of plant origin, possess anti-HIV, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,
antinociceptive, antiproliferative, antitumour and antiviral properties. Further, they are useful …
