Invertebrate lectins are diverse biological functions, including “self-nonself” recognition, bacterial agglutination and lysis, metamorphosis, moulting, wound repair, regeneration and host parasite interactions. Agglutinins/lectins are predominantly found in the hemolymph, hemocytes and hepatopancreas of crustaceans. The functioning of the agglutinins/lectins depends upon its ability to recognize and bind to specific sugars on the cell surface glyco-conjugates. Lectins can be used as tools for blood typing, diagnosing of micro-organisms, mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes, and discrimination between normal and malignant cells, purification of glycoconjugates and as tools to examine cell surface carbohydrates. The functioning of the agglutinin depends upon its ability to recognize and bind to specific sugars on the cell surface glycoconjugates.
