Figure 2

Inhibition of mAb MEST-3 binding to Pb-2. 96-well plates were adsorbed with GIPC Pb-2 from mycelium forms of P. brasiliensis. Methyl-glycosides, disaccharides and GIPC-derived glycosylinositols (first well 100 mM) were serially double diluted with PBS and preincubated with MEST-3, and the inhibition assay was carried out as described in Materials and Methods. The effects of the methyl-glycosides, disaccharides and glycosylinositols are expressed as percentages of inhibition of MEST-3 binding to Pb-2.
