Abstract
Sialic acids (SAs) are nine-carbon monosaccharides existing at the terminal location of glycan structures on the cell surface and secreted glycoconjugates. The expression levels and linkages of SAs on cells and tissues, collectively known as sialoform, present the hallmark of the cells and tissues of different systems and conditions. Accordingly, detecting or profiling cell surface sialoforms is very critical for understanding the function of cell surface glycans and glycoconjugates and even the molecular mechanisms of their underlying biological processes. Further, it may provide therapeutic and diagnostic applications for different diseases. In the past decades, several kinds of SA-specific binding molecules have been developed for detecting and profiling specific sialoforms of cells and tissues; the experimental materials have expanded from frozen tissue to living cells; and the analytical technologies have advanced from histochemistry to fluorescent imaging, flow cytometry and microarrays. This review summarizes the recent bioaffinity approaches for directly detecting and profiling specific SAs or sialylglycans, and their modifications of different cells and tissues.

Abstract
Lectin-glycan interactions play important roles in many biological systems, but the nature of glycoprotein counter-receptors expressed on cell membranes is often poorly understood. To help overcome this problem, we developed a method based on proximity labeling technology. Using a peroxidase-coupled lectin, addition of H2O2 and tyramide-biotin substrates leads to generation of short-range biotin radicals that biotinylate proteins in the immediate vicinity of the bound lectin, which can subsequently be identified. As a proof-of-principle, sialoadhesin-horseradish peroxidase-human IgG1 Fc recombinant protein constructs were precomplexed with anti-Fc antibodies, bound to human erythrocytes and reacted with H2O2 and tyramide-SS-biotin. The erythrocyte membrane protein with strongest biotinylation was identified as glycophorin A, in agreement with early studies using lectin overlay and reglycosylation approaches. As a further test of the method, the plant lectin MAL II was conjugated with horseradish peroxidase and used in proximity labeling of human erythrocytes. Glycophorin A was again selectively labeled, which is consistent with previous reports that MAL II has high affinity for glycophorin. This method could be applied to other lectins to identify their membrane counter-receptors.

Abstract
Maackia amurensis haemagglutinin (MAH) is a leguminous lectin which preferentially binds to a cluster of sialylated O-linked carbohydrate chains (Konami Y, Yamamoto K. Osawa T, Irimura T (1994) FEBS Lett 342:334-38). In the present study a 950 bp cDNA clone encoding MAH was isolated from a cDNA library constructed from germinated Maackia amurensis seeds. From the nucleotide sequence, MAH was predicted to consist of 285 amino acid residues containing a signal peptide of 29 amino acids. The results also confirmed our previous findings from the amino acid sequence analysis, which indicated that two highly conserved amino acid residues in all other well-known leguminous lectins were replaced in MAH. These residues were lysine-105 and aspartic acid-135. The corresponding amino acid residues in other leguminous lectins were glycine and asparagine, respectively. These differences were due to the presence of nucleotides AAA and GAT in place of AAT/C and GGA/T.

Abstract
The interaction of the Maackia amurensis hemagglutinin (MAH) with various glycopeptides and oligosaccharides was investigated by means of immobilized lectin affinity chromatography. An amino terminal octapeptide obtained from human glycophorin A having three Neu5Ac alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->3(Neu5Ac alpha 2-->6)GalNAc tetrasaccharide chains, designated as CB-II, was found to have an extremely strong affinity for MAH. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that hemagglutination by MAH was caused by its interaction with Ser/Thr-linked carbohydrate chains of human glycophorin A on erythrocyte membranes.

Abstract
A human T cell hybridoma clone, F5, producing high levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was established by the emetine-actinomycin D selection method. This clone produced two species of MIF which were separated on a Phenyl Sepharose column. We purified MIF-2 (the more hydrophobic species of the two) to homogeneity from the conditioned medium of stimulated F5 cells by a series of steps that included hydrophobic chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography. Ricinus communis lectin affinity chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography on anion exchange and reverse-phase columns. Purified MIF was digested with endoproteinase Lys-C and Asp-N. The amino acid sequences of the generated peptides were determined. No sequence similarity with any other protein was found. The molecular weight of MIF-2 was estimated to be 45 kDa from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitates with anti-peptide antibodies. These results show that F5MIF-2 is a novel cytokine.

Abstract
"Old" human erythrocytes showed a 21.2% decrease in cell surface area and a 2% decrease in the number of WGA receptor sites, but a 27% increase in the distribution density of the WGA (lectin) receptor site, when compared with "young" human erythrocytes. For a list of lectin abbreviations, see Materials and methods). Both "young" and "old" erythrocytes exhibited very weak binding activity for 125I-labeled PNA, but there was no difference in binding activity for PNA between "young" erythrocytes and "old" ones. Compared with "young" erythrocytes, decreases in the number and distribution density of receptor sites for five lectins including LPA, Con A, RCA-II, SBA and BPA on the cell surface were observed in aged erythrocytes. "Old" erythrocytes also showed a decrease in the number of PHA-E receptor sites, while the distribution density of the same receptor site remained unchanged. In view of these and other observations, it is thought that human erythrocyte aging is accompanied by elimination of some glycoconjugates which have affinity for six lectins, LPA, Con A, RCA-II, PHA-E, SBA and BPA, whereas no WGA receptor-containing glycoconjugates are released from erythrocyte membranes. Elimination of the glycoconjugates results in shrinkage of erythrocytes to reduce their cell surface areas.

Abstract
An acidic lectin (WBA II) was isolated to homogeneity from the crude seed extract of the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) by affinity chromatography on lactosylaminoethyl-Bio-Gel. Binding of WBA II to human erythrocytes of type-A, -B and -O blood groups showed the presence of 10(5) receptors/cell, with high association constants (10(6)-10(8) M-1). Competitive binding studies with blood-group-specific lectins reveal that WBA II binds to H- and T-antigenic determinants on human erythrocytes. Affinity-chromatographic studies using A-, B-, H- and T-antigenic determinants coupled to an insoluble matrix confirm the specificity of WBA II towards H- and T-antigenic determinants. Inhibition of the binding of WBA II by various sugars show that N-acetylgalactosamine and T-antigenic disaccharide (Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc) are the most potent mono- and di-saccharide inhibitors respectively. In addition, inhibition of the binding of WBA II to erythrocytes by dog intestine H-fucolipid prove that the lectin binds to H-antigenic determinant.

Abstract
There were no differences in the number of A and M antigen sites between young and old human erythrocyte surfaces. No essential differences in the number of A1, N and Vicia graminea N antigen sites could be observed between young and old erythrocytes. The number of B and H antigen sites on cell surface was significantly higher in young erythrocytes than in old ones. The distribution density of A and M antigen sites on young erythrocyte was remarkably higher than that on old ones. Compared with young erythrocytes, significant increases in the distribution density of A1, B, H, N and Vicia graminea N antigen sites were observed in aged erythrocytes. It is suggested from these and other observations that human erythrocyte aging is accompanied by elimination of a small amount of B and H antigens from cell membranes, while A, A1, M, N and Vicia graminea N antigens are not released from cell membranes during in vivo aging.

Abstract
Bovine milk IgG markedly inhibits the pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-induced secretion of immunoglobulins from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Heat-aggregated bovine milk IgG is even more inhibitory, demonstrating significant inhibition when levels as low as 5-9 micrograms/ml are continuously present in the in vitro 14-day culture system. However, bovine serum IgG, regardless of its state of aggregation, and control proteins have little effect on PWM-induced secretion of human IgG, IgA, and IgM. In a similar fashion, goat milk IgG, especially when aggregated, inhibits human antibody secretion whereas goat serum IgG does not. Inhibition appears to be mediated by Fc gamma receptors since F(ab')2 fragments of milk-derived bovine IgG do not inhibit PWM-induced antibody secretion. The continuous presence of bovine milk IgG is not essential since preincubation of milk IgG with PWM and human mononuclear cells for 24 hr also results in inhibition of human immunoglobulin secretion. In examining potential mechanisms of inhibition, it was found that bovine milk IgG, bovine serum IgG, and another chitin-containing protein, bovine thyroglobulin, each caused a small and equal inhibition of the binding of 125I-labeled PWM to human mononuclear cells, yet only the milk IgG inhibited antibody production. These studies raise the question of whether bovine milk IgG might modulate the human immune system in vivo.

Abstract
Glycoprotein profiles of rat macrophages (M phi) at different stages of activation were studied by examining the reactivity of various lectins to the glycoproteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Ricinus communis agglutinin 1 (RCA1) revealed several components including glycoproteins of Mr 160 kDa and 65 kDa prominent in resident M phi. A pokeweed mitogen (PWM) isolectin, Pa-4, recognizes branched poly(N-acetyllactosamine)-type carbohydrate chains, and revealed a significant increase in glycoproteins of Mr ranging from 70 kDa to 150 kDa on thioglycolate-elicited M phi. Increased reactivity of PWM to thioglycolate-elicited M phi was observed by direct binding of 125I-labeled Pa-4 to intact or glutaraldehyde-fixed M phi. Histochemical staining of formaldehyde-fixed M phi in vitro with biotinylated Pa-4 was consistent with the gel analysis, that is, resident M phi had no reactivity while thioglycolate-elicited M phi showed slight reactivity. Alveolar and intratumoral M phi bound more Pa-4 than resident or thioglycolate-elicited M phi. The PWM isolectin may therefore serve as a marker for an early stage of M phi activation.

Abstract
A lectin, which agglutinated specifically the yeast cells of the Saccharomyces genus, was isolated from tulip bulbs (Tulipa gesneriana) using affinity chromatography on mannan-Sepharose 4B. Its relative molecular mass was determined by gel filtration to be approximately 67,000. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, a relative molecular mass of 17,000 was obtained, suggesting that the lectin is a tetramer. Binding studies performed with iodinated lectin indicated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells contained approximately 5.7 X 10(6) binding sites per cell, whereas little binding was observed with yeasts other than the Saccharomyces genus, bacteria and animal erythrocytes. D-Mannose, D-mannose 6-phosphate, L-fucose and L-fucosylamine were potent inhibitors of the lectin binding to S. cerevisiae cells, while, D-glucose, D-galactose and D-mannosamine were inactive, indicating that hydroxyl group at C-2 of D-mannose was essential for the lectin binding. Furthermore, inhibition experiments, using various manno-oligosaccharides, suggested that the lectin recognized (1----6)-linked manno-oligosaccharide units larger than mannobiose.

Abstract
The binding properties of Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Bauhinia purpurea alba (BPL), Maclura pomifera ( MPL ) and Sophora japonica (SJL) lectins were studied by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays, demonstrating them to be most specific for DGal beta 1---- 3DGalNAc residues. Additionally, each lectin had its own binding characteristic such as different binding activities to DGal beta 1---- 4DGlcNAc or DGal beta 1---- 3DGlcNAc beta 1----linked oligosaccharides, and/or DGalNAc alpha 1----linked to the Ser or Thr of the protein moiety. These differential binding characteristics can be used for investigating fine differences of the carbohydrate structure of the glycoconjugates, especially those having DGal beta 1---- 3DGalNAc residues as terminal non-reducing ends.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) were obtained from genetically dystrophic chickens (Dy) and age-matched controls (C). Dy-RBCs had a lower titer of agglutination to concanavalin A (Con A) compared to C-RBCs. In order to ascertain the difference in agglutination, Con A binding on RBCs was studied, using 125I-labeled Con A ([125I]Con A) and ferritin conjugate to Con A (Fer-Con A). Kinetic analysis of [125I]Con A binding to Dy-RBCs showed a reduction of major binding sites of Con A. There was no difference in the apparent association constant for the major binding sites of Con A between Dy-RBCs and C-RBCs. Quantitative analysis of Con A binding site distribution on RBCs using Fer-Con A showed a remarkable diminution of ferritin particles tagged on the surface of Dy-RBCs. There was no significant difference in the distribution pattern of ferritin particles between Dy-RBCs and C-RBCs.

Abstract
The role of glycoconjugates in cell surface and blood-borne implantation properties of murine metastatic melanoma sublines of low (B16-F1) or high (B16-F10) potential to colonize lungs was investigated by treating melanoma cells with the antibiotic tunicamycin. This drug prevents glycosylation of glycoproteins by inhibiting the formation of lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursors. The degree of tunicamycin-mediated modifications in glycoproteins was assessed by monitoring the decrease in cell surface sialogalactoproteins by binding of 125I-labeled Ricinus communis agglutinin I. Scanning electron microscopy of tunicamycin-treated B16-F1 and B16-F10 cells showed morphologic changes such as cell rounding and formation of numerous surface blebs. Tunicamycin-treated B16-F1 and B16-F10 cells lost their lung colonization abilities when injected intravenously into C57BL/6 mice, concomitant with lowered rates of adhesion to endothelial cell monolayers, endothelial extracellular matrix (basal lamina), and polyvinyl-immobilized fibronectin in vitro, suggesting that this drug inhibits experimental metastasis by modifying the surface glycoproteins involved in determining the adhesive properties of malignant cells.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi at various stages of maturation and differentiation have been isolated by conventional cellular fractionation procedures and characterized by cell surface markers using 30 highly purified lectins encompassing all known sugar specificities. Cell surface carbohydrates of the various T. cruzi stages were analyzed by agglutination and lectin-binding assays. Specific receptors for wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Helix pomatia, Sophora japonica, and Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin II were found only in culture epimastigotes, whereas peanut agglutinin (PNA) sites were present exclusively in amastigotes, those for Phaseolus vulgaris in bloodstream trypomastigotes and amastigotes, and for Wistaria floribunda hemagglutinin predominantly in culture forms of T. cruzi. The N-acetylgalactosamine (DGalNAc)-binding lectin from Bauhinia purpurea agglutinated and inhibited the movement of epimastigotes and bloodstream trypomastigotes, but it only inhibited--without agglutinating--culture trypomastigotes. Because both the agglutination and inhibition of movement were reversed by specific sugar haptens, Bauhinia purpurea sites were present in all the flagellated parasites. On the other hand, PNA sites were detectable on epimastigotes after the cells were treated with sialidase, whereas, at the same time, WGA receptors were completely removed and those for the other sialic acid-binding proteins, Aaptos papillata lectin II and Limulus polyphemus, were partially eliminated; moreover, the activity of Wistaria floribunda hemagglutinin, a DGalNAc-binding lectin, increased 4,000 times. Trypsinization and lyzozyme treatment of epimastigote cells did not significantly affect lectin agglutination or lectin binding. WGA reacted solely with sialic acid residues on epimastigote cell surface with an apparent association constant of 2 x 10(6) M-1, each epimastigote having an estimated average of 3 x 10(6) WGA sites, as determined by binding experiments and a minimum of 7.7 x 10(6) sialic acid residues, as calculated by colorimetric method after sialidase digestion. Evidences are presented that the sialyl residues are rapidly regenerated (in approximately 4 h) and that they, at least for the most part, are not adsorbed from the culture medium. The receptor for the D-mannose-binding lectins (concanavalin A [Con A] and Lens culinaris) must either be on the same carbohydrate moiety having the WGA site, or, if in a distinct molecule, both carrier molecules of Con A and WGA sites must be located close to each other in the plasma membrane of the parasite.

Abstract
The complex carbohydrates at the cell surfaces of two TA3, murine mammary carcinoma ascites sublines (the strain-specific, TA3-St subline and the nonstrain-specific. TA3-Ha line) were compared by binding studies with 125I-labelled concanavalin A (con A), Ricinis communis agglutinin (RCA), and eel-serum agglutinin (ESA). The TA3-Ha cell bound equal amounts of con A, 1.5-fold more RCA, and 4-fold more ESA than the TA3-St cell. Binding-inhibition studies by these lectins and two others [wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA) and potato lectin (STA)] suggest complementary binding-sites between con A and both RCA and ESA. Quantitative agglutination studies with the five lectins, and inhibition determinations by both neuraminidase-treated and untreated epiglycanin revealed that TA3-St, but not TA3-Ha, cells were agglutinated by con A, and that epiglycanin inhibited this agglutination, as well as the agglutination of rabbit erythrocytes by con A. The presence of a con A receptor on epiglycanin was also suggested by the binding of epiglycanin to con A-Sepharose, and its specific elution with methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. TA3-St cells were agglutinated at a 10-15-fold lower concentration of either STA or RCA than TA3-Ha cells, but both cells were agglutinated by the same concentration of WGA and ESA. Inhibition by epiglycanin of agglutination of TA3-St cells by either STA or ESA occurred at a concentration lower than that of TA3-Ha cells, but epiglycanin inhibited RCA agglutination of TA3-Hs cells at a concentration lower than that of TA3-St cells. Epiglycanin, but not asialoepiglycanin, inhibited the agglutination of TA3-Ha cells by WGA.

Abstract
In order to use, as hapten inhibitors against various galactose-binding lectins, the derivatives of O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 leads to 3)-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-serine, which is the common core structure of sugar chains of most mucins, the synthesis of these compounds was investigated. Koenigs-Knorr condensation of the 4,6-O-benzylidene derivative of O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-N-tosyl-L-serine methyl ester with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide gave O-(2,3,4,L-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 leads to 3)-O-(2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-N-tosyl-L-serine. Deacetylation, followed by acid hydrolysis of the benzylidene group, gave O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 leads to 3)-O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-N-tosyl-L-serine. A beta anomer at the glycoside linkage of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose residue was also synthesized by the same procedure. Agaricus bisporus (mushroom) hemagglutinin was found to recognize the O-alpha-glycosyl linkage between 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose and L-serine, in addition to the O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 leads to 3)-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose sugar sequence, for which Arachis hypogaea (peanut) and Bauhinia purpurea hemagglutinins were found to be specific. Ricinus communis hemagglutinin is more specific for the O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 leads to 4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (commonly found in serum glycoproteins) than for the O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 linked to 3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose sequence. With Wistaria floribunda hemagglutinin, not much difference in the inhibitory activities of these two sugar sequences was observed, and O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-N-tosyl-L-serine was the strongest inhibitor against this lectin.

Abstract
A population of human erythrocytes (free A3 cells) which was entirely unagglutinable with anti-A hemagglutinins was successfully separated from human blood group A3 erythrocytes by affinity chromatography on a column of lima bean anti-A hemagglutinin (LBH)-Sepharose. The hemagglutinating and the binding properties of free A3 cells with purified LBH and purified eel serum anti-H hemagglutinin (ESH) were investigated. It has been revealed that there exists a bulk of H antigens on free A3 cells, whereas the number of A antigens on a free A3 cell is only 9% of that on an A1 cell. However, no appreciable difference was observed in the binding constants of A1 and free A3 cells to LBH and ESH. From these results it is assumed that the structure of the A antigens on free A3 cells is identical with, or at least similar to, that on A1 cells, but the density of the antigens on the surface of free A3 cells is too low to induce the agglutination of the cells with LBH or anti-A serum.

Abstract
The L-fucose-binding lectins present in the seeds of Ulex europaeus and Lotus tetragonolobus have been isolated by affinity chromatography. The binding specificities of the lectins were compared by hemagglutination inhibition analysis. The lectins behaved similarly with respect to a variety of synthetic saccharides. D-Fucose derivatives were inactive as inhibitors. In general, the alpha -L-fucopyranosyl derivatives were better inhibitors than the beta-L-fucopyranosyl derivatives. Aromatic aglycones increased the inhibitory activity of the saccharides with p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside being one of the best inhibitors. The major difference between the two lectins was the observation that the Ulex lectin required higher concentrations of saccharides to bring about complete inhibition of hemagglutination than did the Lotus lectin.

Abstract
The labeling of sialidase-treated, human erythrocyte membranes with ferritin-conjugates of four plant lectins, concanavalin A, Ricinus communis hemagglutinin, Bauhinia purpurea hemagglutinin and Arachis hypogoea hemagglutinin, is reported. Among these ferritin-conjugated lectins, ferritin-conjugated concanavalin A and ferritin-conjugated R. communis hemagglutinin were found in clusters on the sialidase-treated membranes, whereas ferritin-conjugated B. purpurea hemagglutinin and ferritin-conjugated A. hypogoea hemagglutinin were found in a random distribution on the membranes. Furthermore, when the membranes were labeled with a mixutre of concanavalin A and ferritin-conjugated B. purpurea hemagglutinin, ferritin particles were found in clusters, indicating that the membrane receptors for B. purpurea hemagglutinin were forced to more together with those for concanavalin A. A method for the quantitative estimation of the clustering of ferritin particles on the membranes was also devised and applied to the labeling of sialidase-treated, human erythrocyte membranes with the above four ferritin-conjugated lectins.

Catalytic deacetylation of 3 with sodium methoxide, followed by hydrolysis with dilute sulfuric acid, gave 2-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-mannose (4). Treatment of 3 with boiling 0.5 percent methanolic hydrogen chloride under reflux gave methyl 2-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (5) and methyl 2-o-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannofuranoside (6). The inhibitoryactivities of 4, 5, and 6 against the hemagglutinating and mitogenic activities of Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum lectins and concanavalin A were assayed. From the results of these hapten inhibition studies, subtle differences of specificity between these D-mannose-specific lectins were confirmed.

Abstract
The carbohydrate-binding specificities of various so-called galactose-specific phytohemagglutinins were investigated by means of hemagglutination-inhibition assays. As hapten inhibitors, glycopeptides prepared by pronase-digestion of various glycoproteins (porcine submaxillary mucin, bovine submaxillary mucin, and porcine thyroglobulin), and several glycosides of D-galactose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose were employed. The results indicate that these galactose-specific phytohemagglutinins may recognize the sugar residue penultimate to D-galactose or 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose residues of the sugar chain with which they interact, and that they can be classified into three groups based on the type of sugar sequence which they primarily recognize.
