A "new" lectin for detection of T, Tn, and Th polyagglutination. 1982

E K Yang, and L R Spence, and R Y Harding, and B P Moore

A lectin reacting with T, Tn, and Th polyagglutinable red blood cells was found in an extract from the seeds of Hibiscus sabdariffa (Sorrel). This lectin is thus a useful addition to those available for distinguishing various types of red blood cell polyagglutinability.

D037102 Lectins Proteins that share the common characteristic of binding to carbohydrates. Some ANTIBODIES and carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. PLANT LECTINS are carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been primarily identified by their hemagglutinating activity (HEMAGGLUTININS). However, a variety of lectins occur in animal species where they serve diverse array of functions through specific carbohydrate recognition.
