Abstract

The binding of five radiolabelled lectins (Vicia graminea, peanut,Phaseolus vulgaris isolectins E-PHA and L-PHA,Evonymus europaeus) to untreated and desialylated K562 cells and human erythrocytes was compared. The number of glycophorin A receptors recognized on the K562 cells by anti-blood group NV. graminea lectin was comparable to that found on the MN or NN erythrocyte surface. However, K562 cells had a severalfold higher number of oligosaccharide chains (presumablyO-glycosidic) which after desialylation became high-affinity receptors for peanut agglutinin, and of complex typeN-glycosidic chains available for the reaction with E-PHA and also with L-PHA (the latter lectin was not bound to erythrocytes). Moreover, K562 cells not treated with neuraminidase had a significant amount of extremely low affinity receptors for peanut agglutinin, whereas binding of this lectin to untreated erythrocytes was undetectable. On the other hand, the untreated K562 cells did not bind anti-blood group B and HE. europaeus lectin, but a small amount of binding by the desialylated cells was observed. Some other differences observed in the mode of lectin binding to K562 cells and erythrocytes are discussed.
