title: The mitogenicity of extracts from Sarcocystis gigantea macrocysts is due to lectin(s).
abstract: As recently reported, extracts from macrocysts of Sarcocystis gigantea obtained by sonication show mitogenic activity towards lymphocytes. By affinity chromatography using a galactose gel, a lectin fraction which contained the entire mitogenic activity was obtained from these extracts.
