Description 193-198
A hemagglutinin (CLH) having native molecular
mass of 58 kDa and subunit  molecular
mass of 33 kDa had been purified from thc leaves of Chenopodium amaranticolor.
The protein agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and no agglutination

was observed with any of the groups A, B or
O of human blood. The amino acid composition revealed that CLH was rich in aspartic
acid, glutamic acid, glycine and phenylalanine and also significant amount of
methionine. Thc N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis showed that CLH had no
homology with any of the plant hcmagglutinins studied so far. It was in active
towards human peripheral blood cells but mitogenic for mouse spleen
B-Iymphocytes. CLH inhibited protein

synthesis in rat thymocytes at high concentration.
CLH did not inhibit TMV infection of leaves indicating absence of antiviral properties.
