✦ Synopsis
In a variety of human sarcomas we detected the presence of a sarcolectin which reversed an established antiviral protection induced by interferon (IFN). For the same protein concentration, this biological activity was significantly increased when compared to that of normal muscles. All the biological characteristics were comparable to those of a sarcolectin found in hamster tissues; namely the capacity to agglutinate cells and its inhibition by specific sugars, migration in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel, and pepsin, heat and sodium dodecyl sulfate stability. Except for its anti-IFN function and cell agglutinating activity, the biological significances of this sarcolectin is presently poorly understood.
