A method for the fine-structural demonstration of lectin receptors

K Ichev et al. Histochemistry. 1986.

Abstract

A new two-step method using an Fc-fragment/ferritin conjugate as a marker for the visualization of lectin-binding sites on neuronal and other cell membranes is described. In this study of rat synaptosomes, three lectins were tested: concanavalin A, mistletoe lectin I and wheat germ agglutinin. The specificity of the method was proved by control experiments.
