Handbook of Animal Lectins – Properties & Biomedical Applications

The first part introduces animal lectins on both phylogenetic and structural bases and outlines their key biomedical applications. The second, and major part, is a quick reference alphabetical directory listing approximately 170 lectins. Each lectin entry provides, where known, details of its:
* Isolation
* Structure
* Biological activities
* Tissue and/or subcellular distribution
* Possible functions
* Applications
> Handbook of Animal Lectins is aimed at basic scientists and clinicians alike and will be invaluable to both established research workers and newcomers to this area. It will be of particular interest to biochemists, cell biologists, immunologists, oncologists, pharamacologists, medical practitioners and students of medical and biological sciences.
