Carcinoembryonic antigen: characterization of binding with insoluble lectins.

Insoluble conanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were found to bind to carbohydrates on radio-labelled carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Binding by WGA was inhibited both by N-acetyl D-glucosamine and fragments of antibody to CEA, but was increased by intact antibody to CEA. This suggests that...
