Mannose and Lipopolysaccharide Receptors on the Surface of Granular Hemocytes from the Crayfish <em>Procambarus clarkii</em>.
<p><em>Procambarus clarkii</em> hemocytes have been shown to bind to both LPS and a mannose containing neoglycoprotein conjugated to fluorescent probes. A decrease in the observed number of fluorescent hemocytes indirectly indicated that the binding of FITC-LPS to these cells is impaired by initial …
