Figure 2

Confocal microscopy showing the interaction of (a) Bryothamnion seaforthii lectin, BSL, and (b) Bryothamnion triquetrum lectin, BTL PITC, labeled (at for 1 hour) with EB3 colon carcinoma cells variant. In this assay lectins were used at 10  g/mL. In each case the lectin uptake was weakly visualized.
