title: Heavy metal carbohydrate complexes for demonstration of lectin surface receptors. The preparation of a galactan-iron complex.
abstract: The preparation of a galactan-iron complex is described. The galactan iron complex can be used for electron microscopic demonstration of membrane bound Ricinus communis lectin because the high reactivity of this lectin toward the galactan.
