Separated hemocyte populations from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis contain and release in vitro opsonizing Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside specific lectins

Cytosolic lectins, Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside-specific, were determined to be contained in hemocyte and pharynx lysate supernatants of Ciona intestinalis, as revealed by hemagglutination assay with trypsinized rabbit erythrocytes. Ca2+-independence and decreasing β-galactosides inhibitory c...
