The specificity of W. floribunda hemagglutinin, purified by adsorption on insoluble polyleucyl hog gastric mucin blood group A + H (PL-hog A + H) substance, elution with lactose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, was studied immunochemically by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. The purified hemagglutinin, with a WM of 68,000 and an isoelectric point of 5.0, was homogeneous electrophoretically and immunochemically and was made up to 2 covalently linked subunits of MW 32,000. It was precipitated by blood group A, BI, Lea and precursor I substances and by B substance subjected to mild acid hydrolysis (P1) but poorly by blood groups B and H substances. It was also precipitated by asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) but not by agalactoorosomucoid (AGOR) and inactive antifreeze glycoprotein. Inhibition assays with various monosaccharides, glycosides and oligosaccharides indicate that the hemagglutinin is most specific for terminal nonreducing .alpha.-linked DGalNAc. The best inhibitor was the disaccharide DGalNAc.alpha. (1 .fwdarw. 6)DGal which was 8.8 times more potent than DGalNAc. The A-active di-, tri-, and pentasaccharides were 3.3, 3.8 and 12.0 times less potent than DGalNAc.alpha. (1 .fwdarw. 6)DGal, respectively. Among the glycosides of DGalNAc tested, pNph.beta.DGalNAc was most potent. It was 6.0 times more active than DGalNAc but 1.5 times less active than DGalNAc.alpha. (1 .fwdarw. 6)DGal. Although the best inhibitor was the .alpha.-linked disaccharide DGalNAc.alpha. (1 .fwdarw. 6)DGal and Me.alpha.DGalNAc was better than Me.beta.DGalNAc, pNph.beta.DGalNAc was more potent than pNph.alpha.DGalNAc. Molecular models showed pNph.beta.DGalNAc and DGalNAc.alpha. (1 .fwdarw. 6)DGal to be similar in shape and to differ from pNph.alpha.DGalNAc. Thus the combining site of the hemagglutinin is at least as large as a disaccharide and hydrophobic interaction and shape are important for binding.
