| studies of native plants in taiwan for lectin content. | the lectin content of some native plants in taiwan was studied. the majority of the plants possessing lectin belonged to leguminosae. five lectins which are readily available were further studied for their hemagglutination titers, specificity, susceptibility to heat and proteolytic enzymes. the lectins of ricinus communis had hemagglutination titer of 1:512 which was the highest among the five tested. all lectins were heat labile, destroyed by heating at 100 degrees c for 30 min, but resistant t ... | 1975 | 770095 |
