Lectins can be used to specifically detect some cell surface glycans. Their expression on different cells or on cells of a given lineage throughout differentiation or following treatment with drugs can be compared using lectins labelled with radioactive, fluorescent or enzymatic probes. We describe a new method which, by analogy with CELISA (ELISA on cells), is called CELLBA (or ELLBA on cells) for cellular, enzyme-linked lectin-binding assay. It permits the comparison of the expression of specific glycans in a large number of different cell samples. As an example, it was able to detect alterations of cell surface glycan expression caused by inhibitors of N-linked oligosaccharide trimming.

Rabies virus glycoprotein (RABV-G) is responsible for the recognition of specific cell surface receptors and induces the production of neutralizing antibodies (VNA). Since RABV-G is a glycoprotein, this work aimed to evaluate Lens culinaris (LCA) chromatography as a simple and effective purification method. The purity and identification of the protein obtained were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, ELISA and lectin-binding assay.

The uterus, a vital organ in the female reproductive system, nurtures and supports developing embryos until maturity. This study focuses on addressing uterine related problems by creating a nanofibrous scaffold to regenerate uterine myometrial tissue, closely resembling the native extracellular matrix (ECM) for enhanced efficacy. To achieve this, we utilized polycaprolactone (PCL) as a biomaterial and employed an electrospinning technique to generate PCL nanofibers in both random and aligned orientations.

Objectives: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders; however, its underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. Although aberrant glycosylation has been implicated in the N-glycome of immunoglobulin G (IgG), changes in serum proteins have not been comprehensively characterized. This study aimed to investigate glycosylation profiles in serum samples depleted of highly abundant proteins from patients with HT and propose the potential functions of glycoproteins for further studies on the pathological mechanisms of HT.

Background: Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were first identified in the peripheral blood and later in the cord blood and bone marrow (BM) with different vascularization capacity and different surface marker profiles. However, their identity and functional roles in neovascularization have not been clearly demonstrated in vivo and in vitro.
Methods: Characterization of BM-EPC like cells were performed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, immunofluorescence staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Matrigel tube formation assay, and western blot analysis.
Catanionic Vesicles as a Facile Scaffold to Display Natural N-Glycan Ligands for Probing Multivalent Carbohydrate-Lectin Interactions.

Multivalent interactions are a key characteristic of protein-carbohydrate recognition. Phospholipid-based liposomes have been explored as a popular platform for multivalent presentation of glycans, but this platform has been plagued by the instability of typical liposomal formulations in biological media. We report here the exploitation of catanionic vesicles as a stable lipid-based nanoparticle scaffold for displaying large natural N-glycans as multivalent ligands.
