A new lectin with the potent mitogenic and in vitro anti-proliferative activity was isolated from the tubers of a wild monocotyledonous plant Sauromatum venosum (Schott), from the family Araceae, by affinity chromatography on the asialofetuin linked amino-activated silica beads. The apparent native molecular mass of S. venosum lectin (SVL), as determined by gel filtration chromatography, was 54 kDa. In HPLC, size exclusion and cation exchange chromatography, SVL gave a single peak and also a single band of 13...
