DNA clone encoding precursor of lectin-like substance from Periplaneta americana and cloning therefor

摘要

There are disclosed a DNA clone encoding a precursor of lectin-like substance with binding ability to lipopolysaccharides and from Periplanetaamericana, a process for the preparation of the clone and a recombinant plasmid with an insert of the clone region. The lectin-like substance can be used for the separation of bacteria by utilizing its characteristic of high specificity to lipopolysaccharides.
