Concanavalin A specifically agglutinates cells infected with enveloped RNA viruses, indicating host cell membrane receptors are incorporated into the virus envelope.
Becht et al. (1972) studied Cells infected with enveloped RNA viruses. Concanavalin A was evaluated on Agglutination of cells and flocculation of purified virus particles. Concanavalin A specifically agglutinates cells infected with enveloped RNA viruses and causes strong flocculation of purified virus particles.
