Abstract

The effects of phospholipase A2, colchicine, and beta-galactosidase on concanavalin A-induced agglutination of viable hepatocytes isolated from normal and diabetic rats are reported. Phospholipase A2 (0.92 microgram/mL), colchicine (400 micrograms/mL), and beta-galactosidase (300 micrograms/mL) treatments caused a significant increase in the agglutination rate of hepatocytes. These findings suggest that phospholipase A2 treatment resulted in the unshielding of lectin receptors. Colchicine treatment seemed to release those receptors from cellular restraints which tend to separate and/or direct them. The promoting effect of beta-galactosidase could be attributed to a decrease in repulsive forces due to a reduction in net negative charge density after removal of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues. Normal rat hepatocytes seem to be richer in galactosides, phospholipids, and the microfilament-microtubule network than their diabetic counterparts.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
