Abstract excerpt

We studied galactose (Gal)-specific binding of the soluble purified 260-kDa Entamoeba histolytica adherence protein to glycosylation deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants. Our goal was to further define the lectin's functional activity and carbohydrate receptor specificity. The adher...
