Agalacto type complex N-glycans without terminal Gal are often seen in autoimmune disease. Well known Lectins with glycan binding specificity to agalacto are BLL, PVL, GSL-II as shown below. BLL and PVL are mushroom derived, and GSL-II is bean derived.<\/p>\n

A group from New England Biolabs, Inc. has identified gene sequence of Boletopsis grisea, a close North American relative of Boletopsis leucomelaena, and investigated glycan binding specificities of recombinant lectin (named rBGL) with using glycan arrays. Curiously, rBGL has bi-specific glycan binding characteristics, not only to agalacto type N-glycans but also to O-glycans with Thomsen\u2013Friedenreich antigen (TF-antigen; Gal\u03b21,3GalNAc-\u03b1-). Depending on applications, the binding specificity to O-glycan would be interesting.
