Abrus agglutinin (AAG), a hetero tetrameric gal β (1–3) NAc gal specific lectin, is isolated from seeds of Abrus precatorius. In our previous studies we found that the protein could act as an immunomodulator and immunoadjuvant in native (NA) and heat denatured (HDA) conditions. An anticancer effect of the lectin is reported, but its mode of action is not clearly known. In the present study, the anti-tumor...
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have a complex and ambivalent relationship with tumor progression and elimination. Though TAMs are reported to have pro- and anti-tumor roles, upon modification and activation TAMs can develop tumoricidal activities and thus might have applications in cancer therapy. Various immunomodulatory compounds could be used to modulate TAMs. In this study we used Abrus agglutinin,...
