Abstract. E-selectin is an inducible endothelial cell adhesion molecule for neutrophils which functions as a Ca2+-dependent lectin. Using a recombinant, antibody-like form of mouse E-selectin, we have searched for glycoprotein ligands on mouse neutrophils and the neutrophil progenitor cell line 32D cl 3. We have identified a 150-kD glycoprotein as the only protein which could be affinity-isolated with soluble E-selectin from [3sS]methionine/[35S]cysteine-labeled 32D cl 3 cells. Binding of this protein was strictly Ca2÷-dependent, was blocked by a cell adhesionblocking mAb against mouse E-selectin, and required the presence of sialic acid on the 150-kD ligand. This glycoprotein was also afffinity-isolated from mature neutrophils, in addition to a minor component at 250 kD, but could not be isolated from several other nonmyeloid cell lines. The 150-kD glycoprotein was the only protein from 32D cl 3 cells, which was detectable by silverstaining after a one-step affinity-isolation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
