A sialic acid-binding lectin, Achatinin n (ATNH) , having unique specificity towards 9-0acetylneuraminic acid, has been purified and characterized. The specificity of this lectin for O-acetylsialic acids was studied in detail, using various sialic acid derivatives and sialoglycoproteins. The potent
