title: Isolation of lactose-binding lectins from axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).
abstract: 1. Lactose-inhibitable hemagglutination activity was identified in extracts of axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) larvae. 2. Two types of lectin were isolated from extracts by affinity chromatography on lactose-Sepharose. 3. A thiol-independent lectin of subunit mol. wt 15 kDa and a thiol-dependent lectin of subunit mol. wt 18 kDa were identified. 4. The 15 kDa and a 18 kDa polypeptides were weakly reactive with polyclonal anti-human galaptin serum.
