Erythrina cristagalli

Fig. 2 Determination of Bt values (amount of functional immobilized ligand in the column) for the immobilized Erythrina cristagalli agglutinin. / -Nitrophenyl, (pNP)-lactose, diluted to various concentrations (8 to 50 pM), was used for concentration-dependence analysis. (A) The solid and dotted lines demonstrate elution profiles of pNP-lactose and control sugar (pNP-mannose), respectively. (B) Woolf-Hofstee-type plot was made by using V-V0 values.

There is still some discordance about markers for ATI cells [17, 18]. Varieties of glycocalyx appear to be expressed in ATI versus ATII cells, which can be distinguished by the binding of specific lectins. Lycopersicon esculen-tum lectin, for example, appears to adhere specifically to the apical plasma membrane of ATI cells [19, 20], Other lectin markers that have been reported in AEC typing are Ricinus communis agglutinin, Erythrina cristagalli lectin, soybean lectin and Bauhinia purpurea agglutinin (all for the ATI phenotype),...

R = CH3), and morphine (2, R = H), a different derivative of 77 (R = H), ie, (+)-A7-norprotosinomenine (86), serves as the pregenitor of erytliraline (87), one of the bases found in Eiythrina cristagalli (60). The alkaloids found in all plant parts of Erythrina have been intensively studied because many of them produce smooth muscle paralysis, much like tubocurarine (9). 

The following species of Erythrina possess nearly identical lectins arborescens, caffra, corallodendron, cristagalli, fladelliformis, lalissima, litosperma, lysislemon, perrieri, stricta, suberra, zeyheri.
