Abstract
From the seeds of the gorse, Ulex europaeus and of the broom, Sarothamnus scoparius L-fucosyl-specific lectins were isolated by affinity chromatography on L-fucosyl-epoxy-Sepharose. The lectins showed similarities in their molecular weights, amino acid composition, carbohydrate content and in the finger-prints of their tryptic peptides. The fluorescein-labeled lectins of both seeds attached especially to the plasma membranes of human B-lymphocytes.
