Vicia cretica: a powerful lectin for T- and Th- but not TK- or other polyagglutinable erythrocytes.
Abstract
Extracts of the seeds of Vicia cretica (NO Leguminosae) strongly agglutinate T- Th- but not Tk- or other polyagglutinable red cells. The V. cretica lectin is therefore a very useful laboratory reagent in the elucidation of erythrocyte polyagglutination due to T-like erythrocyte cryptantigens.
