Fig 5. Lectin staining is inhibited by treatment with sugar.

Fig 5

The lectins HP, SNA, MAA, and GS1 were presaturated with the sugar D(+)galactose. MPs isolated from MVECs were then stained with lectins or Dgal saturated lectins. Dgal significantly inhibited all lectin binding to the MPs. (HP 37 ± 5 vs. 13 ± 4; SNA 68 ± 2 vs. 51 ± 0.3; MAA 34 ± 0.6 vs. 18 ± 1; and GS1 54 ± 6 vs. 13 ±1; stained vs. Dgal saturated respectively, n = 3–5 per group P< 0.001).
