“…The examination of different stages of bovine pregnancy by use of 13 lectins in bovine endometrium and chorion showed differences in profile of sugar moieties detected by staining with Leukoagglutinin (PHA‐L) from Phaseolus vulgaris (Munson et al., 1989). Studies of our team with PHA‐L (binding to β‐1,6‐linkage), Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA, binding sialic acid in α‐2,6‐linkage) and Maakia amurensis lectin (MAL, binding sialic acid in α‐2,3‐linkage) confirmed the differences in sugar patterns in placental tissues during bovine pregnancy (Wawrzykowski et al., 2019). Moreover, the differences in the concentration of decorin (ECM glycoprotein) in bovine placental tissues were reported by our team (Franczyk, Wawrzykowski, & Kankofer, 2018).…”
