| INDEX | Lectin from invertebrates / / / / Sialic acid-binding lectins |
| CHARACTERIZATION | The lectin is in the hemolymph, and shows specificity for sialic acid like many other sialic acid-specific lectins such as "Limulin", as the agglutination of erythrocytes was completely abolished by treatment with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase. |
| BIOACTIVITY | agglutinates human and animal erythrocytes |
