limulin

01/01/1982 - "alpha 2-Macroglobulin from patients with cystic fibrosis was shown to have significantly increased binding to the lectin limulin when compared to that from healthy controls (t = 3.6, p less than 0.01). "
01/01/1982 - "Increased binding of limulin to alpha 2-macroglobulin and immunoglobulin M from cystic fibrosis patients."
01/01/1982 - "In the present study the binding of limulin, a lectin with sialic acid specificity, to three serum glycoproteins from controls and cystic fibrosis patients was compared. "
01/01/1982 - "The binding of limulin to immunoglobulin M (IgM) from cystic fibrosis patients was also shown to be significantly higher than the binding to IgM from controls (t = 3.6, p less than 0.01), whereas no detectable binding of fluorescein-conjugated limulin to immunoglobulin G from either cystic fibrosis patients or controls was observed. "

01/01/1998 - "Limulus alpha2-macroglobulin functions indirectly in hemolysis: its inactivation yields an inhibitory molecule for limulin-mediated hemolysis."
01/01/1998 - "However, we have recently shown that the principal effector of hemolysis in Limulus is the plasma lectin, limulin (Armstrong et al., 1996). "
05/01/2000 - "The mediator of haemolysis in the plasma of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is limulin, a sialic acid-binding lectin. "
01/01/1998 - "In this article we show that native, unreacted alpha2-macroglobulin is not involved directly in hemolysis but instead that methylamine-reacted alpha2-macroglobulin inhibits the hemolytic activity of limulin. "
10/01/1999 - "Cellular Mechanisms of Hemolysis by the Protein Limulin, a Sialic-Acid-Specific Lectin From the Plasma of the American Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus."

10/01/1986 - "The distribution and nature of sialoglycoconjugates on the surface of cells of a pancreatic carcinoma and their behavior when interacting with the sialic acid-specific lectin, limulin (LPA; from Limulus polyphemus hemolymph) were compared to those of normal pancreatic acinar cells. "
10/01/1989 - "Conjugates of a sialic acid-binding lectin, limulin, with rhodamine and horseradish peroxidase, were used to detect yang-type components at the surface of pancreatic carcinoma cells. "

12/01/1989 - "The role of N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine containing molecules in vesicular stomatitis virus-cell interaction was studied using specific lectins (limulin and wheat germ agglutinin) and esoglycosidases (neuraminidase, beta-galactosidase, alpha-mannosidase, alpha-fucosidase, beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase). "

01/01/1982 - "Exposure of tumor cell monolayers to FITC bound limulin, a lectin specific for sialic acid, also produced an intense surface fluorescence on the microvilli and ridges of tumor cells. "
