Abstract
Eukaryotic parasites, including species of Leishmania, acquire or synthesize carbohydrate moieties similar to human blood antigens. Leishmanial strains separate into three serotypes: A, B and AB. All strains containing the A component are afflutinated by Ulex auropaeus lectin. Inhibition by haptene sugar suggests that a Ulex II-like receptor is involved. Organic solvents, but not protease treatment, remove its reactivity, suggesting that the receptor is a glycolipid.
