Molecular recognition undoubtedly governs any aspect of cellular

interaction. To understand tumor cell growth regulation and spread, analysisof protein carbohydrate interactions can contribute to lead to the

establishment of rational methods for diagnosis and therapy. Chemically

and biochemically optimized preparation of adequate tools,

their application for localization of receptor (tissue lectin)

and ligand (cellular glycoconjugate) pairs in tumor cells and tumor

sections and the usefulness of a lectin from a plant extract as potent

immunomodulator indicate the prospect for a place of such techniques in

pathology and oncology.
