Abstract
A new lectin, called Axinella IV, with bacteria agglutinating activity was detected in the crude extract of the sponge Axinella polypoides. Immunofluorescence studies and immunoelectrophoresis revealed no cross-reactivities with the already known lectins Axinella I. II, and III. d-Galactose and oligosaccharides with d-Galactose in terminal nonreducing position are inactive in agglutination inhibition tests demonstrating also different specificity of Axinella IV lectin when compared with the three aforementioned lectins.
