Abstract

A study was made of agglutinating properties of phytohemagglutinin obtained from the Sax variety ofPhaseolusvulgaris (according to Rigas and Osgood's method) in the form of a protein. Agglutinating properties of phytohemagglutinin were tested against human (A, B, O), rabbit, rat, rooster and frog erythrocytes; single-layered human tissue cultures—normal cutaneous epithelium (strain No. 580), fibroblasts (strain No. 558), amnion (strain A-1); malignant cells of multilayered human tissue cultures—stomach cancer (strain Cave), cancer of the uterus (strain HeLa), cancer of the larynx (strain HEp-2); against malignant cells of experimental mouse cancer (Ehrlich's strain), cancer of the rat ovary (strain OR). Agglutination properties were also tested against an intestinal group of bacteria:Bacteriumcoli (strains C-85 and K-12) andBacteriumprodigiosum (strain No. 10).
