Histamine release induced by plant lectins was studied with emphasis on the carbohydrate specificity, external calcium requirement, metal binding sites, and mast cell heterogeneity and on the importance of antibodies bound to the mast cell membrane to the lectin effect. Peritoneal mast cells were obtained by direct lavage of the rat peritoneal cavity and guinea pig intestine and hamster cheek p...

Aims: Entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) and its symbiotic bacterium are used worldwide as microbial control agents. Toxins from EPN bacteria were isolated provided basis for using this potential resource biocontrol agent against vegetable diseases pests.
 Study Design: The toxins extracted 28 strains of associated with entomopathogenic nematodes. insecticidal activity antibiotic pests determ...
