Pseudomonas lectin PA-I detects hybrid product of blood group AB genes in saliva

N Gilboa-Garber et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa galactophilic lectin PA-I exhibits an outstanding affinity for soluble hybrid oligosaccharide products of human A and B genes in saliva of heterozygous AB individuals. Neither A nor B salivas, nor an artificial mixture of them, inhibit PA-I hemagglutinating activity to the same extent as saliva from heterozygotes. Other lectins examined do not exhibit this property.
