abstract：:Cell-surface glycans are functional docking sites for tissue lectins such as the members of the galectin family. This interaction triggers a wide variety of responses; hence, there is a keen interest in defining its structural features. Toward this aim, we have used enzyme-linked lectinosorbent (ELLSA) and inhibition ...

abstract：:Biosynthesis and functions of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are not well known. A typical housekeeping enzyme, beta1,4-galactosyltransferase, links galactose to glucose to form lactose which is then used as backbone for the assembly of HMO. We investigated whether milk lactose and HMO may be labeled in vivo by an ...
