General description
Lectin from Dolichos biflorus (horse gram) is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein with a molecular mass of around 113 kDa. Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) is specific for terminal α-linked N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc). It is a dietary lectin.
Application
Lectin from Dolichos biflorus (horse gram) has been used:
- to characterize mouse uterine natural killer (uNK) cells
- in double staining with lectins to localize nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation
- as a species-specific gonocyte marker for the determination of donor cell colonization
- to label undifferentiated spermatogonia/cat testicular tissue
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) possesses binding activity for which it is used as a marker binucleate cells and can indicate the state of their differentiation. It serves as a label for primordial germ cells (PGCs), gonocytes, pre-spermatogonia and spermatogonia.
DBA has anti-A1 human blood group specificity, useful for distinguishing between A1 and A2 blood types. DBA has strong anti-Cad activity, and has an affinity for terminal N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminyl residues. Conjugates are prepared from affinity purified lectin.

The term uterine natural killer (uNK) cell is applied in mice to an abundant but transient NK cell population that undergoes unique, terminal differentiation within embryo implantation sites during endometrial decidualization and pregnancy. In mice, decidualization is induced by attachment
