Abstract
Extracts from 117 species of plant seeds were examined for lectin activity against a panel of blood-typed canine red calls. Seed extracts were tested with unmodified and enzyme-treated red cells. Some (53) reacted with either unmodified or enzyme-treated red cells, some (7) were haemolytic, and some (57) did not react. No lectins were found to exhibit canine blood group specificity. Lectin reactivity for canine red cells is compared to reactivity for human red cells.
