凝集素已被用于： 作为单核细胞培养的培养基补充物，以诱导淋巴细胞增殖 作为阳性对照研究趋化因子（C-C基序）配体2（CCL2）在蜕膜白细胞增殖和凋亡中的作用 作为RPMI（洛斯维·帕克纪念研究所）1640号培养基的补充剂，用于外周血淋巴细胞培养应用： 凝集素是一类普遍存在于真菌、植物和动物体内的碳水化合物结合蛋白。植物和动物中对凝集素的结构研究较多。该蛋白的二级结构富含 β-链，并在表面拥有一个碳水化合物结合部位。 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, omnipresent, found in fungi, plants and animals. The structure of lectin is diversely studied in plants and animals. The secondary structure of this protein is rich in β-strands and possesses a carbohydrate binding sites on the surface. Application: Lectin from Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) has been used: as a medium supplement for mononuclear cell incubation, to induce lymphocyte proliferation as a positive control in the study of the role of chemokine (C–C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) in proliferation and apoptosis of decidual leukocytes as a supplement in the RPMI (Roswell park memorial institute) 1640 medium for peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures
