Ulex europaeus agglutinin has anti-H blood group specificity. There are two types of lectin: UEA I has an affinity for L-fucose and UEA II has an affinity for N,N′-diacetylchitobiose. The mol. wt. of UEA I was initially found to be 170,000 daltons. Later reports indicate that UEA I may form aggregates at neutral and basic pH and that the correct mol. wt. is 68,000 daltons.
Linkage
Conjugates are prepared from affinity purified lectin.
Preparation Note
Purified by affinity chromatography using the method of Pereira.[1]
Analysis Note
Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group O erythrocytes after 1 hour incubation at 25 °C.

Present evidence suggests that the cell surface has an important role in metastasis. To examine this idea further, the surface properties of single cells isolated from the primary growths of a liver-metastasizing (ML) and a non-metastasizing (NML) lymphosarcoma were compared
