title: Multivalent binding of galactosylated cyclodextrin vesicles to lectin.
abstract: Amphiphilic beta-cyclodextrins with alkylthio chains at the primary-hydroxyl side and galactosylthio-oligo-(ethylene glycol) units at the secondary-hydroxyl side, which form nanoparticles and vesicles, show multivalent effects in their binding to lectin.
