Abstract
Sheep erythrocytes sensitized with subagglutinating doses of hemolymph from Botrylloides leachii bound strongly to mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Erythrocytes sensitized with similar agglutinating doses of plant lectins or hemolymph from the fresh water crayfish Cherax destructor did not adhere. The adherence promoted by B. leachii hemolymph appears to be a heteroagglutination reaction mediated by a molecule which binds to lactose-like determinants on both erythrocytes and macrophages.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
