title: Visualisation of lectin binding sites on the surface of human platelets using lectins adsorbed to gold granules.
abstract: Washed human platelets have been incubated with the lectins WGA, ConA and RCA1, adsorbed to different-sized gold particles. Plasma membrane receptors for each lectin were then located by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
