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:* what are lectins?* their carbohydrate-binding specificity* effects on nutrition and immunology* use in histochemistry* application as therapeutic agentsPart II lists approximately 200 lectin entries in alphabeticalorder. Each entry deals with the lectin(s) of a particular plantand provides, (where known), details of:* isolation and characterisation;* sugar binding specificity;* biological activities;* applications;* commercial availability; and,* a bibliography.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\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935252414752,"sku":"NEW047196445X","price":514.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/handbook-of-plant-lectins-properties-and-biomedical-applications-047196445x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
