Description:
Lectins of different activities were found in the crop, midgut, and hemolymph of the insect Rhodnius prolixus. These were not specific for N-acetyl-D-mannosamine, alpha-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, and alpha- and beta-galactose, respectively. Lectin receptors were detectable in epimastigote but not in trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite of the insect and of humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pereira, M E -- Andrade, A F -- Ribeiro, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Feb 6;211(4482):597-600.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7006082" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
