A rapid and sensitive assay for detection of nanogram quantities of castor-bean (Ricinus communis) lectins.
Inhibition of lysozyme conjugated with p-aminophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside by galactose-specific lectins from castor beans (Ricinus communis) has been utilized for assaying these lectins in the nanogram range.
