The binding specificity of Wisteria floribunda lectin (WFL) is not fully understood, but this lectin appears to preferentially bind to carbohydrate structures that terminate when n-acetylgalactosamine connects alpha or beta to position 3 or 6 of galactose. This lectin has been used to separate lymphocyte populations and, while not mitotic, can induce lymphokine production in mouse spleen cells.
