Abstract

A method to improve the reactivity to specific lectins of N-glycoproteins isolated from human colorectal mucosa and from adenocarcinoma biopsies was developed using a combination of techniques. Total protein extracts were subjected to affinity chromatography, using the immobilised lectin Concanavalin A coupled to Sepharose, by fast performance liquid chromatography (FPLC). N-glycoprotein enriched fractions were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes and incubated with various lectins. Digoxigenin-conjugated SNA I and MAA lectins were used to detect sialic acid residues. Biotin-conjugated UEA I lectin was used to detect L-fucose residues. By this method, lectin-binding N-glycoproteins were found in a broad relative molecular mass (Mr) range (from 47 to 205 kDa). No tissue-specific N-glycoproteins were observed when human colorectal mucosa and adenocarcinoma samples were compared.
