Antibody-Like Substances in Marine Organisms

  • Chapter
Marine Natural Products Chemistry

Part of the book series: Nato Conference Series ((NATOCS,volume 1))

Abstract

It has been known for many years that substances which, like antibodies, have the power to agglutinate erythrocytes, may be extracted from plants1. However, it was not until 1948 that Renkonen2 demonstrated that some extracts may have the ability to preferentially agglutinate the erythrocytes of certain human blood-groups. Boyd3, later, proposed that extracts showing specificity should be called lectins, derived from the Latin legere, to pick out or choose. This term has now come into common use.
