[Inhibitory effect of lectins extracted from Arachis hypogea and soybeans on germ cell migration in the embryo of Xenopus laevis (Amphibia, Anura)].
Effect of injection of Arachis hypogea (PNA) and Soybean (SBA) lectins on the migration of Xenopus primordial germ cells (PGCs) were investigated. PNA inhibited almost entirely the PGCs migration, more than SBA. Our results indicated that the inhibition of the migration could be a consequence of the lectin-induced alterations of cell surface properties.
