Ferritin-Conjugated Plant Agglutinins as Specific Saccharide Stains for Electron Microscopy: Application to Saccharides Bound to Cell Membranes
Open accessAbstract
An electron microscopic stain for specific saccharides was prepared by the conjugation of ferritin to concanavalin A, a plant agglutinin that specifically binds to oligosaccharides containing terminal d -glucose, d -mannose, or sterically related sugar residues. A technique was developed to allow topological visualization of erythrocyte and other membranes by means of transmission electron microscopy, and the distribution of the binding sites for ferritin-concanavalin A on such membrane preparations was determined. The conjugate was found to bind specifically to the outer, but not the inner, surface of erythrocyte membranes. The number of conjugate molecules bound per unit area of the membrane was larger for rabbit than for human erythrocytes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
