General description

The antibody may be used for studies of the vascular structures. It reacts specifically with UEA-I bound to human endothelial cells of normal and neoplastic blood and lymphatic vessels. Its uniform reaction with vessels enables differentation between vessels and artificial slits in the tissue.

Immunogen

Ulex europaeus from gorse seeds..

Application

Anti-Lectin, Ulex europaeus-I antibody produced in rabbit has been used in double immunostaining of muscle capillary sections.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin isolated from Ulex europaeus I is specific for α-L-fucose-containing glycocompounds. Due to this specificity it serves as a marker for vascular endothelial cells and tumors derived from them.

Target description

Lectins are highly specific carbohydrate binding proteins useful in carbohydrate and cell membrane studies, as well as cell agglutination and typing techniques.

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling within the gastrointestinal tract is complex. BMP ligands and their receptors are expressed in both epithelial and mesenchymal compartments, suggesting bidirectional signaling between these two entities.
