MSH: Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.,CSP: mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes; used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.,NCI: A substance found in plants that causes red blood cells to clump together and certain white blood cells to divide.,NCI: A class of lectins, found in beans, with hemagglutination properties. Phytohemagglutinin binds to complex oligosaccharides containing galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and mannose, causing agglutination of most mammalian red blood cell types. It induces mitosis and affects cell membrane permeability, thereby facilitating protein transport.
