Lectins as cell recognition molecules

N Sharon and H Lis

Department of Biophysics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

Lectins on cell surfaces mediate cell-cell interactions by combining with complementary carbohydrates on apposing cells. They play a key role in the control of various normal and pathological processes in living organisms.
