Differential erythrocyte agglutination pattern in normal and cancer patients with Synadenium grantii root (Hook f) lectin.
Indian J Clin Biochem
January 2001
Dept of Biochemistry, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, 415110 Karad.
In the present study the property of lectin agglutination in blood on normal and different cancer patients has been observed. The purifiedSynadenium grantii root lectin was non blood group specific and its utility as a diagnostic tool in malignancy was studied. Hemagglutination (units/ml) of red blood cells of different types of cancer was compared with the normal control's red blood cells.

In contrast, the relative reactions of the lectins of Helix pomatia (which also agglutinates A erythrocytes) and Wistaria floribunda (which agglutinates A, B, and O erythrocytes) with the Forssman pentasaccharide were substantially weaker than that of Dolichos biflorus. The combining site of the lectin of Helix pomatia has a broader affinity for terminal 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranose (alpha DGalNAc) residues than does that of Dolichos biflorus.
