Abstract
Lympho-agglutinins have been detected and characterized in 31 plant species. Out of these, 14 agglutinated only the neuraminidase-treated cells. The lectin-rich genera included Crotalaria and Erythrina (Fabaceae). Amaranthus (Amaranthaceae), Artocarpus (Moraceae) and Clerodendron (Verbenaceae). The new lectins varied in their potency and biological action spectra. The 3 Artocarpus species were found to be exceptionally potent and specific for melibiose, an .alpha.-D-galactoside. Among the most effective sugar inhibitors for other lectins were N-acetyl-galactosamine, lactose, galactose and asialofetuin/fetuin.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
