Journal Article

Jacalin: an IgA-binding lectin.

Maria Cristina Roque-Barreira, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1985 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IgA is probably the major serum constituent precipitated by the lectin and that no IgG or IgM can be detected in the precipitates and on the basis of this specificity a simple and reliable affinity chromatography procedure is described for the purification of both human serum and colostrum IgA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charge and size of mesangial IgA in IgA nephropathy.

Renato C. Monteiro, +5 more
- 01 Oct 1985 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the multimeric nature of IgA, the formation of IgC complexes, and the anionic charge of Ig a are likely to be involved in the mesangial IgA deposition in idiopathic IgA nephropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxoplasma gondii Infection Reveals a Novel Regulatory Role for Galectin-3 in the Interface of Innate and Adaptive Immunity

Emerson Soares Bernardes, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that galectin-3 exerts an important role in innate immunity, including not only a pro-inflammatory effect but also a regulatory role on dendritic cells, capable of interfering in the adaptive immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immunomodulatory effect of plant lectins: a review with emphasis on ArtinM properties

Maria Aparecida de Souza, +4 more
- 09 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the effects that some plant lectins exert as immunomodulatory agents, showing that they are able to positively modify the immune response to certain pathological conditions, such as cancer and infections is presented.
Journal Article

A neutrophil migration-inducing lectin from Artocarpus integrifolia.

R. Santos-De-Oliveira, +4 more
- 15 Aug 1994 - 
TL;DR: The physical and biologic properties of KM+ suggest that this lectin may attract neutrophils by a mechanism involving a haptotactic gradient as has been proposed for IL-8 and might be used as tool to study protein-carbohydrate interactions during neutrophil migration through the extracellular matrix.
