Abstract:Lectins in the serum of the clam Mercenaria mercenaria agglutinate some red blood cells, bacteria, and yeast. The interaction of these substances with particles is affected by sugars, ions, temperature, and alteration of particle surfaces. Lectins are not needed for phagocytosis of foreign particles in vitro. In M. mercenaria these recognition molecules do not enhance defense mechanisms.
