| CHARACTERIZATION | Rat peritoneal macrophages were shown to have two distinct mannose/fucose/N-acetylglucosamine-specific lectins. The 29 and 32 kDa lectins were identified as members of the liver mannan-binding protein family on the basis of their immunochemical crossreactivity, collagenase sensitivity, and molecular sizes. |
