Abstract
Human HL-60 lectin having an amino acid sequence different from other known animal lectins is disclosed. This is one member of a class of mammalian lectins extractable in lactose or detergent and specific for beta-D-galactosides (14-beta-gal lectin which contains at least one glycosylation site). Recombinant methods and materials for production of the mammalian 14-beta-gal lectins, especially HL-60 lectin, in a variety of hosts, and methods to utilize the resulting lectins are also described. Human HL-60 lectin is found in HL-60 cells and in placental tissue.
