CHARACTERIZATIONLOMBP is a merolectin. LOA reacts with various alpha-mannans from yeast, fungi and bacteria, but not with alpha glucans. See: J Biochem 1993 (217); 677-681 Similar lectins have been purified from the Orchidaceae species Epipactis helleborine and Cymbidium hybrid.
BIOACTIVITYLOA exhibits a modest mitogenic activity toward human lymphocytes. See: Lectin Biol Biochem Clin Biochem 1990 (7); 259-263 LOA is highly inhibitory to HIV-1 and HIV-2 and shows marked anti-human cytomegalovirus, respiratory synncythial virus and influenza A virus activity in vitro. See: Antiviral Res 1992 (18); 191-207
