Fig. 2From: In vitro evaluation of the effect of galectins on Schistosoma mansoni motilityEvaluations of purity and biological activity of prepared galectin proteins. (A) Recombinant galectin proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE and CBB-staining. The theoretical molecular weight of each recombinant galectin protein is as follows: galectin-1, 14.8Â kDa; galectin-2, 14.9Â kDa; galectin-3, 27.4Â kDa. (B) Indicated final concentrations of galectin proteins were mixed with rabbit erythrocytes and incubated for one hour. Images were captured using a digital camera. The wells corresponding to agglutination are indicated by grey circlesBack to article page
