New lectin receptors in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)

New lectin receptors in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)

G Wintzer et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The glycoprotein CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) carries carbohydrate groups, which react with the plant lectins from Agaricus bisporus, Arachis hypogaea (peanut), with Tridacnin from invertebrate clams and with the anti-A lectins from snails. Accordingly, it has cryptantigenic structures, which correspond to the T or T-like antigen, the Tridacnin receptor and to the so called A-like antigen.
