L. Grubhoffer et al., MIDGUT HEMAGGLUTININS IN 5 SPECIES OF TSETSE-FLIES (GLOSSINA SPP) - 2DIFFERENT LECTIN SYSTEMS IN THE MIDGUT OF GLOSSINA-TACHINOIDES, Folia parasitologica, 41(3), 1994, pp. 229-232
Lectin activities were studied in five different species of tsetse fli
es. Different native or enzymatically treated human or animal red bloo
d cells were used to detect hemagglutination activity in midgut extrac
ts. Two inducible lectin systems in the midgut of G. tachinoides were
distinguished.
