Illustration showing influenza virus attaching to cell membrane via the surface protein hemagglutinin. Hemagglutinins (alternatively spelt haemagglutinin, from the Greek haima, 'blood' + Latin gluten, 'glue') are homotrimeric glycoproteins present on the protein capsids of viruses in the Paramyxoviridae and Orthomyxoviridae families.
A C-type lectin (CLEC) is a type of carbohydrate-binding protein known as a lectin. [3] The C-type designation is from their requirement for calcium for binding. [ 4 ] Proteins that contain C-type lectin domains have a diverse range of functions including cell-cell adhesion, immune response to pathogens and apoptosis .
Stillmark isolated ricin, an extremely toxic hemagglutinin, from seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). The first lectin to be purified on a large scale and available on a commercial basis was concanavalin A, which is now the most-used lectin for characterization and purification of sugar-containing molecules and cellular structures.

The Center for Cell and Gene Therapy conducts research into numerous diseases, including but not limited to pediatric cancers, [5] [6] diabetes, [7] HIV, glioma [8] and cardiovascular disease. The center has laboratory space in both Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, and clinical units in Texas Children's and Methodist ...
AFP can be fractionated by affinity electrophoresis into three glycoforms: L1, L2, and L3 based on the reactivity with the lectin Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA). AFP-L3 binds strongly to LCA via an additional α 1-6 fucose residue attached at the reducing terminus of N-acetylglucosamine; this is in contrast to the L1 isoform.
Substrate reduction therapy is FDA approved and there is at least one treatment available on the market. [10] Gene therapy aims to replace a missing protein in the body through the use of vectors, usually viral vectors. [11] In gene therapy, a gene encoding for a certain protein is inserted into a vector. [11]
BanLec (also BanLec-I or Banana lectin) is a lectin from the jacalin-related lectin family isolated from the fruit of the bananas Musa acuminata [1] and Musa balbisiana. [2] BanLec is one of the predominant proteins in the pulp of ripe bananas [ 3 ] and has binding specificity for mannose and mannose-containing oligosaccharides . [ 2 ]
