Ulex europaeus agglutinin I binds specifically to vascular endothelium of various human tissues irrespective of the blood group type or secretive status of the tissue. Using this property, we have developed an immunoperoxidase technique to identify vessel structures in urogenital tissues. Most vessels in malignant and nonmalignant tissues of bladder, prostate and testis of different blood types (A, B, AB and O) can be readily identified by this method. This technique has potential application in detecting tumor cell invasion of vessels and in studying distribution of vessels in relation to various normal and pathological events.
荆豆凝集素I能特异性结合各种人体组织的血管内皮，而与组织的血型类型或分泌状态无关。利用这一特性，我们开发了一种免疫过氧化物酶技术来识别泌尿生殖组织中的血管结构。通过这种方法，可以很容易地识别出不同血型（A、B、AB和O）的膀胱、前列腺和睾丸的恶性和非恶性组织中的大多数血管。这项技术在检测肿瘤细胞对血管的侵袭以及研究血管在各种正常和病理事件中的分布方面具有潜在应用价值。
