Hydrogel and membrane scaffold formulations of Frutalin (breadfruit lectin) wit...
Sousa, Felipe Domingos de; Vasconselos, Pedrinha Diógenes; Silva, Ayrles Fernanda Brandão da; Mota, Erika Freitas; Tomé, Adriana da RochaPlant lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, which can interact with cell surfaces to initiate anti-inflammatory pathways, as well as immunomodulatory functions. Here, we have extracted, purified and part-characterized the bioactivity of Jacalin, Frutalin, DAL and PNA, before evaluating their potential for wound healing in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Only Frutalin stimulated fibroblast migration in vit...
Caracterização estrutural de três lectinas apresentando especificidades por açú...
Moreira, Ana Cristina de Oliveira MonteiroThree lectins from Artocarpus incisa L. seeds, showing different sugar-binding properties, were efficiently isolated and purified by affinity chromatography. The D-galaetose-binding lectin was isolated on an Adenanthera pavonina L. cross-linked galactomannan while the D-mannose-binding leetin was isolated on agarose-mannose and the chitin binding lectins was isolated on chitin columns. These lectins were named ...
