The Coomassie Blue protein stain and the periodic acid-Schiff stain for glycoproteins are compared to a new method of staining glycoproteins resolved electrophoretically. The method utilizes a Concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase sequence to visualize selectively glycoproteins with terminal or internal mannose or terminal N-acetylglucosamine. The method applied to characterization of M and Z allele products of alpha-l-antitrypsins separated by isoelectric focusing of polyacrylamide gels slabs have revealed differences in carbohydrate content of various components that were previously undetected.

In this study, we successfully developed a novel lectin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (lectin ELISA) for the detection of glycosides linked to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a model antigen using a scFv-immobilized hydrophilic polystyrene (phi-PS) plate and 12 different HRP-labeled lectins. Anti-CEA scFv genetically fused with a PS-tag at its C-terminus (scFv-PS) was successfully over-expressed in an insoluble fraction by cultivation of recombinant E. coli.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) corresponds to 5-12% of all salivary gland tumours, and is classified as low, intermediate or high grade. Traditionally, immunohistochemistry was considered as the complementary tool for diagnosis of salivary gland neoplasia. Lectin histochemistry has also been increasingly used in recent years.

Rationale. Evaluation of the potential allergenicity of proteins derived from genetically modified foods has involved a weight of evidence approach that incorporates an evaluation of protein digestibility in pepsin. Currently, there is no standardized protocol to assess the digestibility of proteins using simulated gastric fluid.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) storage proteins are composed mainly of two major components, beta-conglycinin and glycinin. Electrophoretic variants of the beta subunit of beta-conglycinin and the A3 polypeptide of glycinin were detected on SDS-PAGE, and designated them as beta* and A3*, respectively.
