CHARACTERIZATIONHaemagglutination inhibition experiments with 17 saccharides and glycoproteins failed to show clear-cut carbohydrate specificity, with only mucin and fetuin having any inhibitory effect, so that the binding may be complex. See: Dev Comp Immunol 1990 Fall;14(4):405-14
BIOACTIVITYThe lectin agglutinates a variety of erythrocytes including human A, B, O red blood cells as well as human lymphocytes.
SOURCE TISSUE
SPECIFICITY
INHIBITORSHemagglutination activity is inhibited best by N,N',N"-triacetylchitotriose, followed by N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, which is half as inhibitory.
