[Possible application of lectins in diagnostics and therapy. Part I. Diagnostic application].

Lectins are proteins or glyco-proteins binding selectively and without the involvement of enzymes specific for carbohydrate ligands. Lectins are present in organisms on different levels of evolutionary development and play very important roles in life processes of these organisms. Lectins' functioning mechanism is based on the reaction of glycolysation.
