For differential binding patterns in endothelial tissue, see: Eur J Cell Biol 1990 Feb;51(1):85-95 GSA-I is a reliable marker for human eosinophils. See: Histochemistry 1987;86(3):269-73
Biological Activity:
GSA B4 is a serologically Lewis b (Leb)-active binding lectin. See: J Biol Chem 1982 Aug 25;257(16):9324-9 although it has also been claimed to be blood group B specific as well. See: Curr Top Pathol. 1991;83:271-361 Griffonia simplicifolia II, an N-acetylglucosamine-specific legume lectin, has insecticidal activity when fed to the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) see: Plant Physiol 1996 Jan;110(1):195-202
