title: [Isolation of lectin from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) seeds and study of its interaction with carbohydrates and glycoproteins].
abstract: The lectin from horse chestnut seeds was obtained by affinity chromatography on a sorbent prepared from the egg white, 95 mg of lectin per 1 kg of fresh seeds being obtained. Molecular weight was determined by gel-filtration on tojopearl HW-55 and it composed 132 kDa. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of one component with molecular weight of 33 kDa. One band has been revealed by means of disc-electrophoresis in acidic (pH 4.5) and alkaline system (pH 8.9). Sugar was not detected in the lectin. Amino acid composition of the lectin has been determined. The lectin agglutinated horse erythrocytes in minimal concentration of 9.5 ngml, to the less extent rabbit (4.9 mkg/ml), rat (62 mkg/ml), human (73 mkg/ml), but did not agglutinate erythrocytes of a sheep and cow. Purified lectin did not interact with monosaccharides, but interacted with O-glycans.
