A novel role of Periplaneta lectin as an opsonin to recognize 2-keto-3-deoxy octonate residues of bacterial lipopolysaccharides
1993
Kawasaki, K. | Kubo, T. | Natori, S.
Periplaneta lectin of the American cockroach was shown to have affinity to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of chemotypes Rb-Re, but not to lipid A. 2-Keto-3-deoxy octonate (KDO) was the most effective sugar so far tested for inhibition of the hemagglutinating activity of Periplaneta lectin. Periplaneta lectin was suggested to participate in the clearance of bacteria injected into the abdominal cavity of the cockroach.
