Abstract
A purified glycoprotein complex of over 1200 kD apparent native molecular weight having a sedimentation value of approximately 25S and having the ability to selectively bind human Mac-2 or interfere with PHA activation of lymphocytes, DNA sequences that encode the protein, and expression systems for expressing it, thus providing for reagents that are useful for treating or diagnosing diseases, including cancer, infectious disease, and diseases of the immune system, and for monitoring the concentration of the glycoprotein in human milk.
