A survey of lectin-like activity in Philippine marine invertebrates

Owing to their sugar-recognition specificities, lectins have now become useful tools in targeting carbohydrates on cell surfaces. Using an in vitro hemagglutination assay, we screened several marine invertebrates found in the Philippines to catalog new biosources for these lectins. We found fifty-ni...
