The binding patterns of human blood group Sd(a+) and Sd(a-) Tamm-Horsfall glycoproteins (THGPs) with respect to four GalNAc specific agglutinins were studied by quantitative precipitin assay (QPA) and enzyme linked lectinosorbent assay (ELLSA). Of the native and asialo Sd(a+) and Sd(a-) THGP tested by QPA and ELLSA, only native and asialo Sd(a+) bound well with Dolichos biflorus (DBA) and Vicia villosa-B4 (VVA-B4), while Sd(a-) THGP reacted poorly with these two lectins. Neither Sd(a+) nor Sd(a-) THGPs reacted with two other GalNAc alpha-anomer specific lectins: Codium fragile subspecies tomentosoides and Artocarpus integrifolia. Furthermore, the binding of asialo Sd(a+)THGP-VVA-B4 and native Sd(a+)THGP-DBA through GalNAc beta--> was confirmed by inhibition assay. These results demonstrate that DBA and VVA-B4 are useful reagents to differentiate between Sd(a+) and Sd(a-) THGP.
通过定量沉淀试验(QPA)和酶联凝集素吸附试验(ELLSA),研究了人类血型Sd(a+)和Sd(a-) Tamm-Horsfall糖蛋白(THGPs)与四种GalNAc特异性凝集素的结合模式。在通过QPA和ELLSA检测的天然及去唾液酸Sd(a+)和Sd(a-) THGP中,只有天然及去唾液酸Sd(a+)能与双花扁豆(DBA)和绒毛野豌豆-B4(VVA-B4)良好结合,而Sd(a-) THGP与这两种凝集素反应较差。Sd(a+)和Sd(a-) THGPs均不与另外两种GalNAcα-端基异构体特异性凝集素反应:柔弱松节藻绒毛亚种和波罗蜜。此外,通过抑制试验证实了去唾液酸Sd(a+)THGP-VVA-B4和天然Sd(a+)THGP-DBA通过GalNAcβ-的结合。这些结果表明,DBA和VVA-B4是区分Sd(a+)和Sd(a-) THGP的有用试剂。
