Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a homodimeric lectin stabilized by non-covalent interactions. Each monomer of 171 residues, which has a complex structure with 16 disulfide bridges, determines two sites for the specific ...

Abstract: Objectives: Tissue architecture and cell morphology suffer profound alterations during oral cancer and are important markers for its progression and outcome. For precise visualization of tissue architecture in ...

Herein, we report the synthesis of calix[4]resorcinarene-based multivalent ligands bearing β-S-GlcNAc and β-S-AllNAc recognition elements. A clickable β-S-AllNAc derivative was successfully prepared from a β-thioalkynyl ...

This study examines the carbohydrate composition of Taenia solium whole oncosphere antigens (WOAs), in order to improve the understanding of the antigenicity of the T. solium. Better knowledge of oncosphere antigens is ...

Casein glycomacropeptide (CMP) is a 64‐ amino acid peptide found in cheese whey, which is released after κ‐casein specific cleavage by chymosin. CMP lacks aromatic amino acids, a characteristic that makes it usable as a ...

Equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) is a hormone widely used in superovulation protocols because of its follicle-stimulating action, which increases reproductive efficiency in animals of productive interest. It contains ...

Poultry fed on wheat-based diets regularly ingest wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) that has toxic effects in vitro on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) obtained from 14-d-old broilers. Cytotoxicity and the potential role of 14 ...
