This handbook consists of two majorsections: an introductory guide and a quick reference dictionary.Part I acquaints the newcomer to the lectin field with theessential information on lectins and their importance tobiomedicine:\u003cbr\u003e * what are lectins?\u003cbr\u003e * their carbohydrate-binding specificity\u003cbr\u003e * effects on nutrition and immunology\u003cbr\u003e * use in histochemistry\u003cbr\u003e * application as therapeutic agents\u003cbr\u003e Part II lists approximately 200 lectin entries in alphabeticalorder. Each entry deals with the lectin(s) of a particular plantand provides, (where known), details of:\u003cbr\u003e * isolation and characterisation;\u003cbr\u003e * sugar binding specificity;\u003cbr\u003e * biological activities;\u003cbr\u003e * applications;\u003cbr\u003e * commercial availability; and,\u003cbr\u003e * a bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e Useful summary tables list lectins according to their specificity,thereby allowing the user to choose the best lectin for theirapplication. A list of suppliers is also provided. Handbook ofPlant Lectins will be of interest to biologists and biomedicalresearchers studying cell biology, cancer research, nutrition,immunology, pathology and physiology.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEls.
