title: [Characterization of lectin binding by psoriatic epidermis--dependence on pH].
abstract: The binding of five different lectins by normal as well as psoriatic lesional epidermis was investigated with regard to its dependence on the pH value. As we studied the reactions within the pH range of 3.0 to 9.66, we obtained the following results: lectin binding almost independent from pH (FITC-Con A, -PHA, HPA), fluorescence intensity dependent on pH (TRITC-Con A, FITC-LCA, -GCA), binding pattern dependent on pH (FITC-LCA, GCA). In contrast to normal epidermis, there was no pH dependence of the FITC-GCA binding pattern in psoriatic lesional epidermis.
