Agarose bound castor lectin I is prepared using our affinity purified lectin. This lectin consists of two 60 kDa subunits that can be dissociated by a reducing agent into a closely related chain between 27 kDa and 33 kDa. One of these chains appears to be common to the B chain of ricin, another castor agglutinin, while the other chain is specific to RCA I.
