Phytohemagglutinin: inhibition of the agglutinating activity by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.
The effect of simple sugars on the agglutinating activity of phytohemagglutinin was studied. N-Acetyl-d-galactosamine selectively inhibits the agglutination of leukocytes and erythro- cytes by phytohemagglutinin.
