The Anti – LH Lectin – Leucocyte Reactions in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: Further Observations

Abstract

Leucocyte samples from 109 confirmed cases of diabetes mellitus were tested with the anti-LH lectin, Erythrina lithosperma and compared with adequate controls. The results indicate strong agglutination of leucocytes of both diabetic and control samples with the anti-LH lectin; however, it fails to differentiate diabetic leucocytes from normal ones on the basis of the intensity of their reactions.
