Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) is one of the well known plant lectins that are widely used in clinical serology to differentiate human blood group A 1 and A 2 erythrocytes and also applied to glycobiology. However, the knowledge of recognition factors of polyvalent (super) glycotopes in glycans...
