Hemagglutination and Hemolysis by

Lichen Extracts

ABSTRACT

Twenty-two species of lichens from 10 different genera possessed a hemagglutinin for one or more of human, sheep, horse, cow, rabbit, guinea pig, and chicken erythrocytes. Hemolysins were also detected occasionally, but these were only active at low dilutions. In those species tested, the hemolytic principle was dialyzable; the hemagglutinating agent was not. Preliminary studies have indicated that the lichen hemagglutinins are nonspecific.
