The haemolymph of the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachii contains two haemagglutinins which have been termed HA-1 and HA-2 respectively. The HA-1 agglutinin is specific for guinea-pig erythrocytes, requires Ca2+ ions for its activity and has an apparent mol. wt. of about 200,000. It can be adsorbed by guinea-pig but not human, sheep, mouse or pigeon erythrocytes. The agglutination of guinea-pig cells is reversibly inhibited by various mono- and oligosaccharides, lactose and D-galactose being among the most effective of those tested. The HA-2 agglutinin is smaller (mol.wt. approximately 63,000) and agglutinates a variety of erythrocyte types, including those from the human, guinea-pig, mouse, sheep, pigeon and chicken. The agglutination of all these cells is inhibited by lactose. Data from sugar-inhibition and adsorption experiments indicate that the HA-2 agglutinins are homogeneous with respect to binding site specificity. Divalent cations are not required for activity.
群体海鞘Botrylloides leachii的血淋巴含有两种血凝素,分别称为HA - 1和HA - 2。HA - 1血凝素对豚鼠红细胞具有特异性,其活性需要Ca2 +离子,表观分子量约为200,000。它可以被豚鼠红细胞吸附,但不能被人、绵羊、小鼠或鸽子的红细胞吸附。豚鼠细胞的凝集反应可被各种单糖和寡糖可逆抑制,乳糖和D -半乳糖是测试中最有效的糖类。HA - 2血凝素较小(分子量约为63,000),能凝集多种红细胞类型,包括来自人、豚鼠、小鼠、绵羊、鸽子和鸡的红细胞。所有这些细胞的凝集反应都被乳糖抑制。糖抑制和吸附实验的数据表明,HA - 2血凝素在结合位点特异性方面是同质的。其活性不需要二价阳离子。
