| Description |
The mannose/fructose-binding agglutinin from Day 1\p=n-\7post coitum (p.c.)
rat uteri was purified on Concanavalin A. The specific haemagglutination activity
peaked on Days 4 and 5 p.c. and a 1\m=.\4-foldincrease in the yield was accompanied by a
10\p=n-\12-foldincrease in specific agglutination titre. The mannose-binding affinity of the
protein also increased, but the highest fructose-binding affinity was found on Day 1
p.c., which may indicate a role of the protein in fructose concentration for utilization by
the spermatozoa. Rats that were pseudopregnant, superovulated and pseudopregnant,
and had one uterine horn ligated showed that, although a basal level of the protein was
induced by the hormonal milieu, actual stimulation of the protein synthesis occurred in
the presence of the fertilized ova
