title: Interaction of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase with lectins.
abstract: Interaction of acetylcholinesterase (A ChE) of human erythrocyte membranes with wheat germ lectin, Concanavalin A, Lens Culinaris lectin and phytohaemagglutinin is described. In solutions containing Triton X 100, only Wheat Germ lectin showed significant binding with AChE. Sepharose-immobilized Wheat Germ lectin bound AChE significantly more than Concanavalin A. This interaction was used for partial purification of the enzyme.
