| Abstract: | The carbohydrate-binding properties of the C-type lectin-like mouse RegIV and glutathione S-transferase-fusion protein (GST-mRegIV) were examined using carbohydrate-containing polyamidoamine dendrimers (PD). GST-mRegIV showed affinity for mannan- and manno-oligosaccharide containing PD. Binding was inhibited by manno-oligosaccharides but not by mannose or other tested carbohydrates, suggesting that the binding site may have an extended structure in contrast with typical C-type lectins. |
