“…Anti-B activity was also detected in the seed coats of Evonymus species,[ 22 ] in the fungi Fomes formentarius ,[ 23 ] and Clavutinopsis fusiformis [ 2 ] and in sea weed Ptilota plumose . [ 24 ] Anti-B activity was detected in the roe of various species of fish, especially from the salmon and herring families.…”

Lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins present in seeds of many plants, especially corals and beans, in fungi and bacteria, and in animals. Apart from their hemagglutinating property, a wide range of functions have been attributed to them. Their importance in the area of immunohematology is immense. They are used to detect specific red cell antigens, to activate different types of lymphocytes, in order to resolve problems related to polyagglutination and so on. The introduction of advanced biotechnological tools generates new opportunities to exploit the properties of lectins, which were not used earlier. Stem cell research is a very important area in transplant medicine. Certain lectins detect surface markers of stem cell. Hence, they are used to understand the developmental biology of stem cells. The role of various lectins in the areas of transfusion and transplant medicine is discussed in detail in this review.

“…Transplantation was performed between two isohistogenic strains, Lewis and BN, and the LewisxBN F1 hybrid (3), which are histoincompatible at the major Ag-B locus (4). The left kidney from a male LewisxBN F1 donor was transplanted into the abdomen of a male Lewis recipient by a microvascular surgical technique (5); the recipient's own kidneys were then removed immediately.…”

Kidneys were transplanted across a major genetic barrier (Ag-B locus), from LewisxBN F(1) hybrid rats into bilaterally nephrectomized Lewis rats. Survival of grafts is prolonged (indefinite?) in rats treated with a combination of (i) intravenous injection of donor spleen cells 1 day before the graft, and (ii) passive immunization with antiserum prepared in rats of the recipient strain against donor spleen and lymph-node cells. The recipient's immune response to other antigens is not impaired.
