Lectin recognition of FH and desialylated FH. (A) Western-blot analysis with polyclonal anti-FH antibodies. “In vitro” desialylated FH (dFH) has the same molecular weight than FH in a plasma sample from patient H837 obtained 1 day after disease onset (sp1), and lower than FH in the sample obtained at remission (sp2). (B) Differential recognition of FH and dFH by lectin RNA (which recognizes non-reducing terminal beta-D-galactose), and lectin SNA (which binds primarily to Neu5Ac(α2–6) Gal/GalNAc disaccharide sequences). (C) Schematics of FH showing the SCR domains with N-linked carbohydrates; the sugar composition of the carbohydrate molecule is based on Schmidt et al. (32).
