title: Clinical applications of lectin affinity electrophoresis.
abstract: Principles and several modifications of lectin affinity electrophoresis are described. The results obtained using these newly developed techniques are reviewed for individual glycoproteins, the altered lectin reactivities of which have some clinical implications, showing different lectin reactivities, which occur not only on malignant transformation but also in association with inflammatory process and hormonal action.
