CHARACTERIZATIONLTA is a metalloprotein that is a mixture of isolectins which are glycosylated. See: carbohydrate Res 1977 (58); 253-265 Separation of the lectin components by DEAE cellulose chromatography yielded two major fractions: a potent hemagglutinin with weak macrophage activating properties and a potent macrophage activator with weak hemagglutinating activity. See: Immunobiology 1985 Apr;169(3):250-62
