" 02/01/2001 - "In this study, 111 primary breast cancers were assessed for binding of HPA and labelling characteristics were compared directly with those of Dolichos biflorus agglutinin and soybean agglutinin, both of which also recognise N-acetylgalactosamine, Griffonia simplicifolia agglutinin II, which recognises N-acetylglucosamine, and Limax flavus agglutinin, Sambucus nigra agglutinin and Maackia amurensis lectin I, all of which recognise sialic acids.

4.	Infections 12/01/1994 - "Lectin histochemistry revealed that, before infection, strongly positive stainability of Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) and Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA) was observed in all of the small intestinal goblet cell mucins of mice. " 04/01/1989 - "javanica with soybean agglutinin, Concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, Lotus tetragonolobus agglutinin, or Limax flavus agglutinin or the corresponding competitive sugars for each of these lectins did not alter normal root tissue response of soybean cultivars Centennial and Pickett 71 to infection by M.
