The Human Lectin Supersystems Possessing Probiotic and Protective Actions

Abstract

The potential of useful for human immunobiological supersystems of lectins (SSL) recognizing carbohydrates and glycoconjugates of molecular or supramolecular protein/(oligo)peptide-containing constituents of biotopes is described. SSL recognize, reversibly bind, delivery to biotopes, orient natural or synthetic polymeric, polyvalent glycoconjugates (imitators of natural glycopolymers) at the cell surface. The key features of SSL are indicated and described. The possibilities of application and prospects of SL of probiotics, complement C4 system and protein hormones (on example of erythropoietins) in prognostics and diagnostics of pathologies, prophylaxis and therapy of diseases and medical biotechnology are evaluate
