摘要：

A hemagglutinin was identified and partially characterized in the crop of the bug Triatoma infestans. It agglutinated mouse and rabbit erythrocytes, and was strongly inhibited by bacterial lipopolysaccharides. SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with specific antibodies identified a dominant protein with molecular mass of 20 kDa under reducing conditions. The protein seems to be synthesized in the crop epithelial cells and deposited on the inner crop surface. Its possible biological role is discussed. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
