Lotus tetragonolobus lectin
Lotus tetragonolobus lectin (LTL) is a plant lectin that specifically recognizes and binds to α-L-fucopyranosyl residues, a sugar structure serving as the key terminal glycosyl group of human blood type O antigen (H antigen). Lotus tetragonolobus lectin exerts macrophage migration inhibitory activity in monomeric form. Lotus tetragonolobus lectin labels and identifies renal proximal tubular epithelial cells to evaluate histopathological changes of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury. Lotus tetragonolobus lectin is applicable to studies in glycobiology, immunology and renal pathology.

Biological Activity
Purified Lotus tetragonolobus lectin (1.9 μg/mL) agglutinates a 0.3% suspension of type O (d) human erythrocytes at the minimum concentration of 1.9 μg/mL[1].
Purified Lotus tetragonolobus lectin consists of three fucose-specific isolectins, which is confirmed by the presence of three precipitin arcs in immunoelectrophoresis against rabbit antiserum raised against crude LTL[1].
Purified Lotus tetragonolobus lectin (0.5-500 ng/mL; 16 hrs) inhibits the migration of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages in a bell-shaped dose-dependent manner; its effect is mediated by surface receptors containing α-L-fucopyranosyl groups[1].
Purified Lotus tetragonolobus lectin (0.01-100 μg/mL; 0-120 h) exhibits no mitogenic activity toward lymphocytes isolated from normal guinea pig lymph nodes at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 μg/mL and with incubation periods up to 120 h[1].
