  • Title: The effect of temperature on concanavalin A-mediated agglutination of cells with rigid receptors.
    Author: Jansons VK, Paktor JA.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1977 Jun 16; 467(3):321-6. PubMed ID: 328040.
    Abstract:
    The agglutination of a yeast, Candida albicans, by concanavalin A has been described. The agglutination was cell-number dependent. Prolonged incubation (60 min) was needed to reach maximum agglutination at 37 degrees C. The rate but not the extent of agglutination was temperature dependent. The dimeric forms of concanavalin A, obtained either at low pH or after succinylation, agglutinated the yeast cells as well as the tetramer. Temperature changes affected the agglutination of yeast cells by dimers and by tetramers to the same extent.
