Mistletoe Lectins (2)

  • Chapter
Advances in Lectin Research

Abstract

In 1988 I wrote in my review on Viscaceae lectins (Franz 1989): “The author of this review hopes for progress in this field over the next years. Moreover, he is anticipating it.” The recent development seems to confirm this remark. A number of papers published recently might justify the presentation of a further review about mistletoe lectins.
