Abstract

The article discusses the isolation of high molecular weight from the mucus of the giant African snail Achatina fulica. It examines the anti-microbial activity of mucus from the said African snail. It notes that the lectin isolated from the mucus of the snail contributes to its immunity. It cites that lectin was conveyed in the tissues of the mantle collar.
