INDEXLectin from invertebrates / / / /
CHARACTERIZATIONA sialic acid specific lectin (MrL) that agglutinates erythrocytes from rat and rabbit, as well as some Gram negative and positive bacterial strains.
BIOACTIVITY
SOURCE TISSUE
SPECIFICITYSince agglutination of erythrocytes (RBC) is not abolished by treatment with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (VCN), Macrobrachium shows an agglutination pattern different from that of other sialic acid-specific lectins such as Limulus polyphemus lectin.
INHIBITORSHemagglutination-inhibition tests indicate that sialic acid containing compounds are the best inhibitors for Macrobrachium lectins.
