What's the difference between amaranthine and unfading?
Amaranthine
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to amaranth.
(a.) Unfading, as the poetic amaranth; undying.
(a.) Of a purplish color.
Example Sentences:
(1) Serological studies suggest that amaranthin does not appear to be present in the stems or leaves of the A. caudatus plant, nor were there any indications for the presence of cross-reactive material.
(2) The stoichiometry of carbohydrate binding was determined to be one T-disaccharide-binding site per amaranthin subunit (Ka = 3.6 X 10(5) M-1).
(3) In the present study we have analyzed by light and electron microscopy the distribution and subcellular localization of Amaranthin binding sites in normal, dysplastic and neoplastic colonic epithelium.
(4) In this study, neuraminidase (sialidase) and 6 different lectins, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA), Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA), Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), and Amaranthin, were used to histochemically characterize the carbohydrate structure of glycoconjugate in the murine eustachian tube pharyngeal orifice.
(5) A comparison between the carbohydrate-binding specificities of amaranthin and peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin is discussed.
(6) Application of the galactose oxidase-Schiff sequence abolished amaranthin (and anti-T antibody) binding to the T antigen but not to its cryptic form, and therefore permitted their differentiation in tissue sections.
(7) The lectin amaranthin, purified from the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus, has been shown to react specifically with the Gal beta 1,3GalNAc-alpha and the NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc-alpha sequence which represent the T antigen and the cryptic T antigen, respectively.
(8) Therefore, amaranthin can be used for histochemical detection of the T antigen and the cryptic T antigen, and facilitates discrimination between them.
(9) Investigation of transitional mucosa, adenocarcinomas of different degrees of differentiation and mucinous carcinomas as well as adenomas with different degrees of dysplasia all revealed positive Amaranthin staining.
(10) Histochemical evidence was obtained indicating that amaranthin is a more specific anti-T reagent than peanut lectin.
(11) Amaranthin staining was inhibited by pre-incubation of lectin-gold complexes with 10 mM Gal beta 1,3GalNAc-alpha-O-benzyl (synthetic T antigen) or 10 mM Gal beta 1,3GalNAc-alpha-O-aminophenylethyl-human serum albumin (T antigen neoglycoprotein), asialoglycophorin, asialofetuin, and asialomucin.
(12) This Amaranthin staining was resistant to GO-Schiff treatment.
(13) Amaranthin is the lectin present in the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus, which specifically binds the T-disaccharide (Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-).
(14) The lectin Amaranthin reacts with Gal beta 1,3 GalNAc-alpha (the T antigen) and NeuAc alpha 2,3 Gal beta 1,3 GalNAc-alpha (the cryptic T antigen).
(15) NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-(CH2)8CO2CH3 was as potent an inhibitor as Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-(CH2)8CO2-CH3, and amaranthin was precipitated by NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-BSA (where BSA is bovine serum albumin), indicating that the amaranthin-combining site tolerates substitutions at the C'-3 hydroxyl group.
(16) A lectin (Amaranthin) present in the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus has been isolated by fractionation on DEAE-cellulose followed by affinity chromatography on Synsorb-T beads (Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-R-Synsorb).
(17) Equilibrium sedimentation (Mr = 62,900) and low-angle laser light scattering (Mr = 61,400) methods have been used to unambiguously establish the native multimeric structure of amaranthin as a homodimer.
(18) We report here the development of labeling techniques that apply amaranthin to stain paraffin sections from rat fetuses.
(19) Studies with a homobifunctional cross-linking reagent and amaranthin further support the existence of a lectin homodimer.
(20) A native Mr = 54,000 was determined by gel filtration suggesting that amaranthin exists as a homodimer.
