Abstract
The obvious ability of defined lectins to activate (non)specific defen se mechanisms supports the assumption that lectin-carbohydrate interac tions may induce clinically beneficial immunomodulation. Recent invest igations proved that lectins, especially small nontoxic doses of galac toside-specific mistletoe lectin (ML-1), have immuno-emodulatory poten cy.
