A microquantitative method for investigating the interaction between labeled lectins and the surface membranes of human lymphocytes using a semi-automatic harvesting machine.

We describe a simple, rapid and economical method for the study of the interaction of labeled lectins and the surface membranes of human lymphocytes using a semi-automatic harvesting machine (Titertek Multiple Cell Harvester). The procedure requires both small numbers of cells and small amounts of lectin, moreover it reduces the number of experimental steps required.
