  • Title: Changes in lectin-induced deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in cultures of chick-embryo fibroblasts at various stages of development.
    Author: Roguet R, Bourrillon R.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1975 Nov; 152(2):421-3. PubMed ID: 1220696.
    Abstract:
    Concanavalin A and Robinia pseudoacacia lectin decreased [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into acid-insoluble material of fibroblasts cultured from 6-10-day chick embryos. In contrast, these lectins stimulated [(3)H]thymidine incorporation in cells from 16-day embryos. These effects are due to neither [(3)H]thymidine permeability modification nor toxicity of the lectins. The specificity of lectin action was proved by blocking experiments with alpha-methyl mannopyranoside and with anti-(Robinia lectin) serum.
