Binding of concanavalin A by the cell membrane of a unicellular organism, Paramecium aurelia.
As demonstrated by electron microscopy, Concanavalin A receptors exist on the cell membrane of Paramecium aurelia. The interpretation of the cytochemical detection of Con A binding is not very precise because of a slight, unspecific peroxidase adsorption.
