| INDEX | Lectin from fungi / / / / Fucose-binding lectins |
| CHARACTERIZATION | Candida albicans GDH 2346 produces extracellular polymeric material (EP) which contains a mannoprotein adhesin with a lectin-like affinity for fucose-containing glycosides. |
| BIOACTIVITY | |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | Fucose-containing glycosides |
| INHIBITORS | Fucoside-binding protein fragments were then recovered by affinity adsorption with the trisaccharide determinant of the H (type 2) blood group antigen which terminates in a residue of L-fucose. Confirmation of specificity and the need for a carrier molec |
