| Lecster ID:654 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Straw mushroom |
| Species: | Volvariella volvacea |
| Common Nomenclature: | VVL |
| Class: | |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECf.Vol.Vol.xx.Xxxx |
| Characterization Notes: | The lectin has a moderate inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cells. |
| Biological Activity: | The immunomodulatory activity of VVL was demonstrated by its potent stimulatory activity toward murine splenic lymphocytes. VVL was also found to markedly enhance the transcriptional expression of interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. See:Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1998 Jun 9;247(1):106-11 |
| Source Tissue: | |
| Specificity: | |
| Inhibitors: | Its hemagglutinating activity was inhibited by thyroglobulin but not by simple carbohydrate s such as monomeric or dimeric sugars. |
