Biochem/physiol Actions

Ulex europaeus agglutinin has anti-H blood group specificity. There are two types of lectin: UEA I has an affinity for L-fucose and UEA II has an affinity for N,N′-diacetylchitobiose. The mol. wt. of UEA I was initially found to be 170,000 daltons. Later reports indicate that UEA I may form aggregates at neutral and basic pH and that the correct mol. wt. is 68,000 daltons.

Packaging

Package size based on protein content.

Linkage

Conjugates are prepared from affinity purified lectin.

Physical form

Contains potassium phosphate buffer salts and NaCl

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group O erythrocytes after 1 hour incubation at 25 °C.

Multipotent progenitor cells were mobilized during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We hypothesize that these cells also adhered onto polymethylpentene (PMP) fibers within the membrane oxygenator (MO) during adult ECMO support. Mononuclear cells were removed from the surface of explanted

The viability of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) as a therapeutic treatment for neovascularization (NV) was subject to investigation in the present study. Furthermore, endostatin has previously been demonstrated to be an inhibitor of angiogenesis and a suppressant of vascular leakage.

Endothelial cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-ECs) promote angiogenesis, and more recently induced endothelial cells (iECs) have been generated via fibroblast trans-differentiation. These cell types have potential as treatments for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, it is
