Interactions of soya-bean agglutinin with purified glycoconjugates and soya-bean seed components
Abstract:
A radioaffinity assay for lectin binding to receptors was developed and characterized by using the interactions between soya-bean agglutinin and four glycoconjugates, namely thyroglobulin, galactomannan, fetuin and asialofetuin. On application of the assay to soya-bean extracts a wide range of seed components were found to have the capacity to interact with soya-bean agglutinin. These included both trichloroacetic acid-soluble and trichloroacetic acid-insoluble glycoconjugates and two classes of particulate matter distinguished by their differential solubility in Triton X-100.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
