• Removal of sialic acid by treatment with neuraminidase revealed the presence of binding sites for peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin, a lectin specific for the sugar sequence beta-D-Gal-(beta 1----3)-D-GalNac (the T antigen) [17].

Anatomical context of Arachis hypogaea

• 3. Examination with the lectins from Maclura aurantiaca (Osage orange) and Arachis hypogaea (groundnut) showed that the PAS-3 glycoprotein of S-s-erythrocyte membranes lacked the receptors for these lectins that are present on glycoprotein PAS-3 from normal erythrocytes [21].
• However, these lectins failed to react with the uninduced cells of the S-shaped bodies, whereas Maclura pomifera (MPA), Triticum vulgaris (WGA) and, after neuraminidase treatment, Arachis hypogaea (PNA) agglutinins bound intensely to the presumptive podocytes [22].
• At various times after the intraperitoneal injection of TP or arachis oil, [35S]methionine was injected into the third ventricle and 1 h later proteins were extracted from the hypothalamus-preoptic area (H-POA) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [23].
