Abstract excerpt
The plant lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) has previously been used to select more than ten different glycosylation-defective phenotypes in a variety of mammalian somatic cells. Three WGA-resistant phenotypes have now been obtained spontaneously from baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. These mutant BHK cells exhibit a pattern of cross resistance and sensitivity to multiple plant lectins, suggesting that the cell...
