| CHARACTERIZATION | |
| BIOACTIVITY | SJL-I agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes as well as human A, B, and O-type erythrocytes, but SJL-II agglutinated only rabbit erythrocytes. |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | |
| INHIBITORS | Hemagglutination by SJL-I was competitively inhibited by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and galactose-containing carbohydrate s. On the other hand, only lactose, melibiose, and raffinose gave weak inhibition of hemagglutination by SJL-II |
