Lectin-independent, irreversible redistribution of concanavalin A receptors on influenza virus infected Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Abstract

Increased agglutinability by Concanavalin A (ConA) of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells infected with an adapted influenza Ao virus, strain WSA, was maintained despite prefixation with formaldehyde. Noninfected tumor cells, however, were less agglutinable after exposure to the fixative, as has also been reported for transformed cells.
