Abstract
MORPHOGENESIS and malignant invasion seem to be dependent on cellular migration and changes in cellular adhesiveness1–3. Plant lectins such as concanavalin A (con A) have been extensively used to study the nature and distribution of lectin receptor sites on the surfaces of normal, embryonic and tumour cells. These sites may be involved in controlling cellular migration and adhesiveness2,4,5.
