Abstract
An affinity adsorbent for beta-glycosidases has been prepared by using beta-glycosylamidine as a ligand. beta-Glucosylamidine and beta-galactosylamidine, highly potent and selective inhibitors of beta-glucosidases and beta-galactosidases, respectively, were immobilized by a novel one-pot procedure involving the addition of a beta-glycosylamine and 2-iminothiolane.HCl simultaneously to a matrix modified with maleimido groups via an appropriate spacer to give an affinity adsorbent for beta-glucosidases and beta-galactosidases, respectively. This one-pot procedure enables various beta-glycosylamidine ligands to be formed and immobilized conveniently according to the glycon substrate specificities of the enzymes. A crude enzyme extract from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) and a beta-galactosidase from Penicillium multicolor were chromatographed directly on each affinity adsorbent to give a beta-glucosidase and a beta-galactosidase to apparent homogeneity in one step by eluting the column with glucose or by a gradient NaCl elution, respectively. The beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase were inhibited competitively by a soluble form of the corresponding beta-glycosylamidine ligand with an inhibition constant (K(i)) of 2.1 and 0.80 microM, respectively. Neither enzyme was bound to the adsorbent with a mismatched ligand, indicating that the binding of the glycosidases was of specific nature that corresponds to the glycon substrate specificity of the enzymes. The ease of preparation and the selective nature of the affinity adsorbent should promise a large-scale preparation of the affinity adsorbent for the purification and removal of specific glycosidases according to their glycon substrate specificities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transfusion of ABO-incompatible RBCs is the leading cause of fatal transfusion reactions. Group O RBCs, lacking terminal immunodominant A and B sugars to which humans are immunized, are safe for transfusion to persons of any ABO blood group. With the use of a recombinant alpha-galactosidase to remove terminal galactose from group B RBCs, the safety and efficacy of enzyme-converted group-B-to-group-O (ECO) RBC components were studied in transfusion-dependent patients. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-four patients (blood groups A and O) were randomly assigned to receive transfusion(s) of either ECO or control group O RBCs. If a second transfusion was given, the other blood component was administered. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were given ECO RBCs; 18 also underwent control transfusions. One patient received only a small aliquot for RBC survival studies, instead of a full-unit transfusion, because his serum was incompatible with ECO RBCs. No adverse events occurred. Both ECO and control transfusions resulted in appropriate Hb increments and comparable (51)Cr-labeled RBC survival studies. One patient developed a transient, weak-positive DAT, without hemolysis. Two weeks after transfusion, 5 of 19 evaluable ECO RBC recipients had increases in anti-B titers. CONCLUSION ECO RBCs were comparable to group O cells for safety and efficacy in this study. The clinical significance of the increase in anti-B and of occasional serologic incompatibilities with ECO RBCs is unclear. If strategies can be developed to remove A epitopes, enzymatic conversion could be used to create a universal (group O) donor blood supply.

Abstract
Soluble antigens, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and cell suspension assays were used to study the blood group B activity of Glycine max (soybean) alpha-D-galactosidase. The enzyme readily hydrolyzed the terminal alpha-D-galactosyl of the B antigen under a variety of conditions, converting it to H antigen. Conversion of the B antigen to H antigen produces blood type O which is universally transfusable. These preliminary studies are important in determining optimal conditions for enzymatic conversion of blood type B to O erythrocytes if efficient large-scale production of enzymatically converted, universally transfusable red blood cells is to be achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epitopes of blood group A antigen can be enzymatically cleaved from red cells (RBCs), but the extent of cleavage required for normal survival in allogeneic blood transfusion recipients is unknown. Therefore, the cleavage rates were studied for A antigen epitope binding of 1) complement-activating anti-A, 2) Dolichos biflorus anti-A, lectin, and 3) hemagglutinating anti-A during incubation with a purified alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, E.C. 3.2.1.49 (alpha-GalNAc'ase). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Suspensions of group A RBCs were incubated with alpha-GalNAc'ase. Cells were removed at intervals, washed, and tested for loss of binding by monoclonal, polyclonal, and complement-activating anti-A, D. biflorus anti-A1 lectin, and Ulex europaeus anti-H lectin. RESULTS A epitopes binding D. biflorus lectin were highly susceptible to alpha-GalNAc'ase; simultaneously with their loss, binding with U. europaeus lectin emerged. Loss of complement-mediated hemolysis was slower. A epitopes binding hemagglutinating anti-A were most resistant. Cleavage of A epitopes from membrane glycosphingolipids with short oligosaccharide chains was similarly resistant. Rates of cleavage from A1 and A2 RBCs were similar. CONCLUSION RBC epitopes of blood group A differ in susceptibility to cleavage and biologic reactivity, which suggests that subsets mediating important biologic functions exist on functionally and topographically distinct membrane glycoconjugates.

Abstract
Conversion of erythrocyte membrane B antigen to H antigen produces blood type O which is universally transfusable. If efficient large-scale production of enzymatically converted red blood cells is to be achieved, then optimal conditions for deantigenation must be determined. Cell suspension assays were used to study the blood group B activity of Glycine max (soybean) alpha-D-galactosidase on native human erythrocytes. The enzyme readily hydrolyzed the terminal alpha-D-galactosyl residue of the B antigen, converting it to H antigen. Optimal conditions for the enzymatic conversion of red cells with the Glycine enzyme are described. Normal cell morphology and function were maintained under optimal conditions.

Abstract
Progress is being made toward producing erythrocytes similar to native group O cells from A and B donors. Blood group A and B antigens are known to be carbohydrate in nature. The antigenicity is conferred by different terminal sugars. Removal of these sugars by specific exoglycosidases produces the H antigenic structure that is the determinant found on group O cells. Conditions have been developed that allow for the removal of these antigens while maintaining the metabolic and membrane viability of the red cell. Following successful autologous transfusions with gibbons, appropriately treated human group B erythrocytes are now being used in preclinical studies with normal healthy human volunteers. Results indicate that such treated cells have normal in vivo life spans in both group A and O recipients. However, the latter exhibit a transitory increase in anti-B antibody titer, the significance of which is not yet known. Similar exoglycosidic treatment of group A erythrocytes does not remove all serologically detectable A antigens. This is probably due to the presence of a second internal A antigenic site adjacent to the usual terminal A antigen on some structures. Several approaches are being used to address this problem, including projected treatment with a combination of pertinent exoglycosidases and a search for an endoglycosidase that will cleave the polysaccharide chain at a site upstream from both A antigens.

Abstract
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in an acidic buffer system was used to study the electrophoretic behaviour of two forms of alpha-D-galactosidase from seeds of soy bean (Glycine soja) and mung bean (Vigna radiata). The interaction of the enzymes with saccharides was monitored by affinity electrophoresis; for the preparation of affinity gels, water-soluble O-glycosyl polyacrylamide copolymers and polysaccharides were used. alpha-D-Galactosidases from both sources interact with immobilized alpha-D-galactosyl residues. On the basis of the results of affinity electrophoresis performed in the presence of various free sugars, dissociation constants for the complexes between alpha-D-galactosidase and free sugars were calculated.

Abstract
Two molecular forms, I and II (high and low molecular mass) of alpha-galactosidase were demonstrated in dry mung beans and a multi-step procedure was developed for isolating the tetrameric enzyme I in good yield. Two affinity chromatographic techniques were employed and an overall 10 000-fold purification was achieved. The enzyme was able to catalyse the hydrolysis of alpha-galactosidic linkages as well as agglutinate rabbit erythrocytes (clot formation). The clot was temporary and dissolved on longer incubation, yielding free galactose. The pH optima for both activities were similar. The enzyme also destroyed human-blood-group-B activity and increased H activity. The effect of pH on Km and Vmcx of the enzyme indicated the importance of carboxyl (pK approximately equal to 4.0) and histidine (pK approximately equal to 6.5) groups for activity. This was confirmed by amino acid modification experiments in the absence and presence of the substrate. The stoichiometry of enzyme inactivation showed the probable presence of 12 carboxyl groups and 9 histidine imidazole groups/molecule enzyme in the active site. The effects of modification of the groups on enzymic and hemagglutinating activities were parallel. A model explaining the display of both the activities by the enzyme, is presented in which hemagglutination is shown to be due to the formation of slightly stable enzyme-substrate complex. It is proposed that a true lectin should not alter the covalent status of the binding sugar.

Abstract
p-Aminophenyl glycosides and glycosylamines were coupled to periodate oxidized Dextran T-500 either directly or through an epsilon-aminocaproic acid spacer. The new glycosylated derivatives of dextran specifically precipitate lectins having the appropriate carbohydrate specificity, and thus were used in the preparation of affinity gels for affinity electrophoresis of lectins. The apparent strength of interaction of several lectins with carbohydrate residues immobilized in this way was less than with carbohydrates immobilized in O-glycosyl polyacrylamide copolymers. The presence of epsilon-aminocaproic spacer had no effect on the strength of interaction. The advantages of this type of macromolecular derivative of the ligand for affinity electrophoresis and some differences between the glycosylated dextrans and O-glycosyl polyacrylamide copolymers are discussed. Dextrans containing bound p-aminophenyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside and p-aminophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside were used to study the binding properties of concanavalin A and the lectin from Lathyrus sativus seeds. For the investigation of interaction of lectins from Ricinus communis and Glycine soja seeds, dextran derivatives containing bound p-aminophenyl alpha- and beta-D-galactopyranosides and alpha- and beta-D-galactopyranosylamines were used.

Abstract
Extraction and fractionation of the beta-D-mannanases in germinating lucerne produced four fractions if extracts were stored prior to chromatography. However, when extracts were applied rapidly to DEAE-cellulose, one of the fractions of high molecular weight (separated subsequently by gel chromatography) was not detected, indicating that it was formed after maceration. On storage, the amount of the lower-molecular-weight, unbound fraction from chromatography on DEAE-cellulose did not increase relative to that bound. During germination, the bound and unbound fractions both increased initially and then decreased, with only small changes in the ratio of each. The results suggest that three of the beta-D-mannanase fractions are formed in vivo prior to maceration.
