“…More recently, these compounds have been discovered in animals, including mammals (for exhaustive review, see Barondes, 198 1, 1984;Harford, 1982: Olden et al, 1982). Various lectins have been isolated from liver and macrophages (Stahl et al, 1976(Stahl et al, , 1978Kawasaki et al, 1978;Steer and Ashwell, 1980;Stockert et al, 1980;Sahagian et al, 198 1 ;Maynard and Baenziger, 1982;Mori et al, 1983;Wild et al, 1983;Gabius et al, 1984;Roche et al, 1985). It has been suggested that proteins with carbohydrate binding properties of different specificities exist in the CNS (Kobiler and Barondes, 1977;Simpson et al, 1977;Gremo et al, 1978).…”
