The normal human tear glycoprotein profile detected with lectin probes.

Abstract:

:Tear samples were collected from 46 healthy volunteers evenly distributed according to sex and age (mean age 43.5 years). Samples were denatured in a Tris-HCl sample buffer containing 2-mercaptoethanol and SDS, and applied to a gradient SDS-polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis. The proteinaceous material was transferred to nitrocellulose by a semi-dry blotting technique, and the glycoprotein content subsequently visualized by incubation with four lectins (WGA, PHA, PSA and SBA) and staining with avidin horseradish-peroxidase. Glycoprotein bands were generally found to be significantly less frequent in persons under the age of 30 years. Apart from this the technique gave a uniform picture of the glycoprotein profile, with only modest differences according to age and/or sex. The technique may therefore be suitable for the detection of differences in the glycoprotein composition indicative of disease.
