experiments combining the use of limiting concentrations of neuraminidase to cleave off sialic acid from the surface membrane of splenocytes that do not bind pna ( pna- cells ) , followed by agglutination with the lectin , suggested that the high binding of pna to mature lymphocytes is most likely due to a low degree of sialylation of chicken cell surface glycoconjugates .
