Sepharose-lectin column chromatography To purify glycoproteins or gly-copeptides that bind the particular lectin used. 

In a preliminary report, Ross et al. [40] used affinity chromatography to identify a putative bovine renal brush border Na /H exchanger. Brush border membranes were solubilized with Triton X-100 and chromatographed sequentially over lentil lectin Sepharose 4B and 5-(A-benzyl-iV-ethyl)amiloride coupled to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. The eluant contained 178- and 146-kDa proteins that were susceptible to Endo-F. Moreover, the eluants reacted on dot blot immunoassays with antisera to a 20-amino acid peptide of a human Na /H exchanger vide infra). The relationship between these proteins and the 66-kDa protein previously identified by the same investigators using amiloride photolabeling is presently unclear. 

Crude chloroform-methanol-water (30 60 8, v/v) extracts of immunostainedTLC bands were analyzed without further purification by nanoelectrospray low-energy mass spectrometry. The authors showed that this effective PLC/MS-joined procedure offers a wide range of applications for any carbohydrate-binding agents such as bacterial toxins, plant lectins, and others. Phenyl-boronic acid (PBA) immobilized on stationary support phases can be put to similar applications. This technology, named boronate affinity chromatography (BAC), consists of a chemical reaction of 1,2- and 1,3-diols with the bonded-phase PBA to form a stable... 

TES-45 and TES-55 are two glycoproteins that have yet to be identified at a genetic level, but evidence has been obtained that they may also be lectins. Carbohydrate affinity chromatography with mannose-agarose shows that TES-32 selectively binds as expected, but that TES-45 is also present in small amounts (Loukas et al., 1999) unlike TES-32, TES-45 does not bind to A -ace Lylgalac t< isamine. No sequence information has yet been obtained on TES-45, but it is recognized by polyclonal antibodies generated to TES-32,... 

Lectin affinity chromatography may be used to purify a range of glycoproteins. Lectins are a group of proteins synthesized by plants, vertebrates and a number of invertebrate species. Especially high levels of lectins are produced by a variety of plant seeds. Plant lectins are often termed... 

Although lectin affinity chromatography may be utilized to purify a variety of glycoproteins, it has not been widely employed for a number of reasons ... 

A third area of development in carbohydrate l.c. analyses is in the combined techniques (see Section IV,3) and other methods that provide qualitative, as well as quantitative, information about sample constituents, such as high-performance liquid affinity chromatography. The use of specific lectin- and monoclonal antibody-based, stationary phases for analytical and preparative applications is now being considered. The basic concepts of these techniques have been reviewed - and their applications to carbohydrates have been discussed.

Analytical tools have been developed in order to identify carbohydrate structures as well as carbohydrate-binding proteins and to understand their underlying structure-function relationships of protein-carbohydrate and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions lectin arrays [16], glycan microarrays [17, 18], glyco-nanoparticles [19], frontal affinity chromatography [20] and carbohydrate tools for metabolic labeling [21].
