They concluded that marine algal agglutinins are most sensitive to protease treated sheep erythrocytes followed by native rabbit and sheep erythrocytes, but not to human and chicken red blood cells. Lectins from cyanobacteria and other marine macro-algae are specific for high-mannose which makes them promising candidates for the prevention of transmission of various enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), Ebola virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) (Ziolkowska & Wlodawer, 2006) . Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of a mucin-binding agglutinin isolated from the red marine alga Hypnea cervicornis	./cache/cord-310430-7eww1oet.txt	./txt/cord-310430-7eww1oet.txt
