MSH: A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.,CSP: mannose/glucose binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis); potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.,NCI: A mannose-binding lectin originally isolated from jack-bean, Canavalia ensiformis. Concanavalin A is a potent lymphocyte mitogen and a stimulator of matrix metalloproteinases, thereby exhibiting immunostimulatory effects. It is used in the characterization and purification of glycoproteins.
