摘要 |
The present invention concerns lectins isolated from the fruiting body of a novel Hericium erinaceum (deposit number: KCTC 12499BP) NEU-1 L strain which bind specifically to sialic acid. The invention further pertains to uses of such lectinsn abd to processes for their preparation thereby. The lectin of the present invention can be useful as an active ingredient of a composition or a kit for measuring or detecting glycoproteins, glycopeptides, glycolipids, sugar precursors or oligosaccharides containing sialic acid moieties, or further for measuring or detecting cell lines, bacteria and viruses containing sialoglycoconjugates. |
