Abstract

A natural haemagglutinin against rabbit erythrocytes has been purified from sera of Clarias batrachus, an Indian fresh water catfish, using ammonium sulphate fractionation followed by Sephadex G-200 chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The haemagglutinin has a molecular weight of about 200 kDa is composed of two subunits having molecular weights of 64 and 68 kDa. Thus presumably it has three chains bound by non-covalent bonds. The number of binding sites for this haemagglutinin on a single rabbit erythrocyte is 3.46 × 106. This binding is a spontaneous reaction (KA = 2.80 × 107 l mol-1; ΔF= -1.0515 × 104 kcal mol-1).
