Table based on ref (888).

SNA (EBL-elderberry bark lectin) is often available only as SNA without any specification, despite the different binding abilities of the two isolectins.

F, fungi; P, plant; SU, subunits; Gal, galactose; GalNAc, N-acetylgalactosamine; Glc, glucose; GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosamine; Fuc, fucose; Man, mannose; Neu5Ac, N-acetylneuraminic acid.
