title: Reactivity of lichen lectins with blood typed canine erythrocytes.
abstract: Extracts from 69 species of lichens were tested for their ability to agglutinate untreated and enzyme-modified erythrocytes from a panel of blood typed dogs. Forty-three lichen species reacted positively with either untreated or enzyme-modified cells. Many extracts exhibited differential agglutination among red cells tested. The patterns of differential agglutination observed with the lichen extracts did not correspond to known canine blood groups present on the test red cell panel.
