Specificity of xenoreactive anti-Gal alpha 1-3Gal IgM for alpha-galactosyl ligands.

abstract：:The galectin from Geodia cydonium (GCA) had previously been shown to be involved in regulatory mechanisms of cell sorting and adhesion during reaggregation of allogeneic sponge cells. In this contribution the binding specificity of GCA was established to be GalNAc alpha 1-3GalNAc beta as structural component of Forssm...
