Abstract

See full text

Anti-viral material comprising a mannose-specific lectin obtained from a bulb of the plant family Amaryllidaceae, for example Narcissus pseudonarcissus, and the use of this material to produce a medicament and a vaccine. The material is effective against RNA viruses which contain glycoproteins with mannose (alpha-1>3) or (alpha-1>6) mannose linkages, for example HIV or HTLV such a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Human T Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) and can also be used as a diagnostic.
