Description galactose specific agglutinin has been detected in the hemolymph
of the snail Achatina furl ca fulica Bowdich. The agglutinin,
which agglutinates rabbit erythrocytes, has been purified by
affinity chromatography on crosslinked guargum followed by
gel filtration on a Biogel P-200 column. The purified agglutinin
has a native molecular weight of 210,000 and comprises of non
covalently linked identical subunits of molecular weight 15,000.
The pI of the agglutinin was found to be g.1. The activity of
the agglutinin is independent of divalent cations. The inhibition
of hemagglutination data reveals that 2-deoxy- D-galactose is
the most potent inhibitor of the agglutinin followed by galactose
and lactose.
