Abstract
Flow cytometric investigations show binding of an isolated arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) from pressed juice of the aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea to the cell surface of human leucocytes. AGP demonstrates binding to lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes of different donors (n=8). Competition assays with two antibodies, directed against CD4 and CD8, revealed no interaction of AGP with these receptors, leading to the conclusion that binding of AGP to leucocytes is mediated via other structures.Entities:
