Abstract excerpt
Lectins are widely used in many types of assay but some lectins such as banana lectin (BanLec) are recognised as potent immunostimulators. Although BanLec's structure and binding characteristics are now familiar, its immunostimulatory potential has not yet been fully explored. The synthesis by recombinant technology of a BanLec isoform (rBanLec) whose binding properties are similar to its natural counterpart has...
