The Influence of Plant Lectins on Immune Response against other Dietary Proteins

  • Conference paper
Plant Proteins from European Crops

Summary

This study demonstrates that the proportion of administered dietary protein absorbed was higher for the lectins Phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin and Pisum sativum agglutinin as compared to Bowman Birk inhibitor and ovomucoid. A kidney bean extract containing P. vulgaris agglutinin broke down oral tolerance in mice fed ovomucoid.
