Amaranthus leucocarpus lectin (ALL) is specific for GalNAc residue found in the inner core of Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha 1,O-Ser/Thr disaccharide (T-antigen) or GalNAc alpha 1,O-Ser/Thr (Tn-antigen). Flow cytometric analysis using fluorescein-labeled lectin and monoclonal antibodies against human cell surface markers indicated that 5.7% of mononuclear cells from human healthy donors are recognized by ALL. These cells have the phenotype CD2+CD4+CD19- and most of the lymphocytes recognized are also CD27+, CD45RA+ and CD43+. ALL possesses mitogenic activity on lymphocytes after neuraminidase treatment. Our results indicate that the receptors recognized by ALL could be considered surface markers for naive human T lymphocyte subsets.
