(1) Jackfruit crude extracts are known to stimulate human lymphocytes, but the mitogenic properties of purified jacalin have not been studied in detail so far.
(2) Jacalin, a D-galactose-specific lectin from jackfruit, interacts with human IgA and one or two other serum proteins.
(3) The lectin jacalin from jackfruit seeds shows a human IgA-subclass specificity by gel precipitation and Western blotting.
(4) The discovery of jacalin, a group of lectins from jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus), has attracted considerable attention due to its numerous interesting immunological properties as well as its usefulness in the isolation of various serum proteins.
(5) The lectin from jackfruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) seeds has been purified by Rivanol (6,9-diamino-2-ethoxyacridine lactate) treatment.
(6) A jackfruit lectin, jacalin, was used as the substrate for the selective binding of human IgA1 ICs in serum PEG precipitate (7%).
(7) Jacalin-P, extracted from jackfruit seeds from the Philippines, reacts only with serum IgA and secretory IgA of IgA1 subclass.
(8) Jacalin was extracted from jackfruit seeds (crude preparation) and purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on IgA-Sepharose to yield a pure preparation of jacalin.
(9) An IgA1-specific lectin, Jacalin, was isolated from dried seeds of the jackfruit, Artocarpus integrifolia, by affinity binding to IgA1-Sepharose and elution with D-galactose.
(10) We previously reported that seeds of Artocarpus integrifolia (jackfruit) contain a lectin, which we call jacalin, that is both a potent T cell mitogen and an apparently T cell-independent activator of human B cells for the secretion of immunoglobulins.
(11) She spent an hour preparing a huge spread of dishes, using her own curry powder: jackfruit curry, crispy chewy aubergine, bitter gourd salad, fish balls, mango chutney and ambulthiyal – chunks of yellowfin tuna steeped in spices.
(12) The interactions of IgA with the jackfruit lectin, jacalin, were investigated with regard to the specificity of jacalin for species and subclasses of IgA.
(13) However, we found in the present study that a lectin from another batch of jackfruit (Jacalin-H) showed a different nature in binding reaction.
(14) Its structure and carbohydrate binding specificity are now well documented, and it can be purified easily from jackfruit seeds by ion exchange or affinity chromatography.
(15) This is the place I discovered sai ua (Chiang Mai sausage), nam prik ong (chilli tomato pork dip) and kaeng khanun (jackfruit curry).
(16) Aquous extracts from seeds of Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit) and Artocarpus heterophyllus (jackfruit) were compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
(17) Equilibrium dialysis of lectin with melibiose and quenching of fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside by the lectin show that homotetrameric jackfruit lectin has two sugar-binding sites.
(18) The lectin jacalin from the jackfruit Artocarpus heterophyllus reacts by precipitation and western blotting with human IgA1 and IgD but not with IgA2 (nor IgG and IgM).
(19) Thermodynamic analysis of carbohydrate binding by Artocarpus integrifolia (jackfruit) agglutinin (jacalin) shows that, among monosaccharides, Me alpha GalNAc (methyl-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine) is the strongest binding ligand.
(20) On Saturday, a week to the hour after the 7.9 magnitude earthquake that has killed at least 6,900 in Nepal , injured 15,000 and made up to half a million homeless, many of the villagers of Swarathok were sitting under the jackfruit tree in its centre.
