Isolation and partial characterization of wheat-germ-agglutinin-like lectins from rye (Secale cereale) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) embryos

Abstract

Lectins have been isolated from embryos of Secale cereale (rye) and Hordeum vulgare (barley) by affinity chromatography on immobilized N-acetylglucosamine. Both lectins are dimeric proteins of two identical subunits of mol.wt. 18000. They resemble strongly wheat-germ agglutinin with respect to their chemical, physical, biological and immunological properties.
