The characterisation of the peanut agglutinin an evolved plant lectin, with improved specificity to the Thompson Freidenriech antigen

Lagardien, ZaidaDivision of Medical Biochemistry2013

… on cell surfaces and suitably engineered lectins may be able to recognise tumour specific carbohydrate structures. This study was aimed at carrying out the biophysical characterisation of a set of PNA mutants which showed apparent improvement in specificity for the T-Antigen. Previous …

Ricin B Chain-Insulin Fusion Protein Immunomodulation of Type 1 Diabetes

Carter, James Edward, III

… non-toxic B chain of ricin—an enterocyte-binding plant lectin that possesses intrinsic cell-delivery and immunostimulatory properties. The human proinsulin (INS) ricin toxin B chain (RTB) fusion protein was expressed in <em>Escherichia coli </em>and purified for use in an animal inoculation …

Plant-derived Murine IL-12 and Ricin B-Murine IL-12 Fusions

Liu, JianyunVirginia Tech2006

… goals of this research were to determine whether plants can serve as an effective production system for bioactive IL-12, a complex 70kDa glycoprotein cytokine, and whether the plant lectin RTB can facilitate mucosal delivery of IL-12 to immune responsive sites. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing …
