General description

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, that contains four subunits with a molecular weight of 125 kDa. Leucoagglutinin PHA-L is a plant lectin, which is transported by the neurons in the central nervous system.

Application

Lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean) has been used:
  • for phytohemagglutinin (PHA) swelling assay
  • for lymphocyte activation assay
  • to evaluate cell-mediated immune response

Biochem/physiol Actions

PHA consists of two molecular species, an erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) which has low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinin activity, and leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) which has high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, but very low erythroagglutinating activity.
PHA-E is not blood group specific, but agglutination can be inhibited by certain oligosaccharides. PHA-P is the protein form of PHA prior to separation and purification of erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin. PHA-M is the mucoprotein form. Conjugates are prepared from the corresponding purified lectins.
Lectin agglutinates cells and precipitates polysaccharides and glycoproteins. It has anti-cancer, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) and anti-microbial infection properties. Lectin is associated with toxic allergens and hemagglutinins. Lectin inhibits mucosal atrophy, lowers type 2 diabetes and obesity, enhances nutrient absorption and regulates drug targeting.

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in mg/mL and is determined from serial dilutions of a 1 mg/mL solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a suspension of 2% human erythrocytes in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8 after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C. Mitogenic activity is determined by BrdU incorporation.
Mitogenic activity at ≤10 μg per mL.

    Questions

    1. What do the designations -P, -L, -M, and -E represent in the names of PHA products?

      1 answer

      1. Generally, PHA-P or PHA-L is utilized to stimulate lymphocytes, although PHA-M will also work, but not to the same degree. The most active form is PHA-L (the mitogenic concentration is < 5μg/ml). PHA, or Phytohemagglutinin, comprises two molecular species:

        1. Erythroagglutinin (PHA-E), which demonstrates low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinating activity.

        2. Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), which possesses high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, accompanied by very low erythroagglutinating activity.

        PHA-P represents the protein form of PHA before the erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin components are separated and purified. PHA-M refers to the mucoprotein form of Phytohemagglutinin.
