Figure 3. Binding of V. cholerae El Tor and E. cristagalli lectin to glycosphingolipids of rabbit thymus.

Figure 3

(A and D) Chemical detection by anisaldehyde. (B and E) Autoradiograms obtained by binding of V. cholerae JBK 70. (C and F) Autoradiograms obtained by binding of E. cristagalli lectin. The lanes on A–C were: Lane 1, neolactotetraosylceramide (Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glcβ1Cer), 4 µg; Lane 2, fraction TH-I isolated from rabbit thymus, 1 µg; Lane 3, fraction TH-II from rabbit thymus, 1 µg; Lane 4, Lane 4, sialylneolactohexaosylceramide (NeuGcα3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glcβ1Cer), 1 µg. The lanes on D–F were: Lane 1, total non-acid glycosphingolipids of rabbit thymus, 40 µg; B5 pentaosylceramide (Galα3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glcβ1Cer), 4 µg; Lanes 3 and 4, subfractions isolated from rabbit thymus, 1 µg/lane; Lane 5, fraction TH-II from rabbit thymus, 1 µg; Lane 6, fraction TH-III, 1 µg; Lane 7, fraction TH-IV, 1 µg.
