Tóm tắt

Four isolectins (TEL-I, TEL-II, TEL-III and TEL-IV) were isolated from seeds of Talisia esculenta by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. RP-HPLC was performed on a u-Bondapack C18 column (0.78 cm × 30 cm) (Waters 991-PDA system) at room temperature. Rechromatography of the four fractions on a C18 column under the same conditions yielded lectins with two dissimilar subunits (Mr 20 kDa and 40 kDa) bound noncovalently. The isolectins showed very similar characteristics, such as molecular masses, N-terminal sequences, and hemagglutinating activity, but differed in their isoelectric points and in inhibition by carbohydrates.
