This is the second edition of our little red book Lectins published
in 1989. In the intervening years well over 10,000 articles have
appeared with lectins as the main subject, and more than twice as
many in which they were touched upon, as well as around 20 books.
In particular, great strides have been made in several areas of
lectin research, about which little was known until the late 1980s.
One prominent example is animal lectins, many of which have been
discovered only during the last decade and the functions of several
of which have been clarified, especially as to their key role in
innate immunity. Another is the structure of lectins and of their
combining sites. Thus, whereas at that time the three-dimensional
structures of just three lectins and a few of their complexes with
sugars had been elucidated, their numbers have increased to about
160 and over 200, respectively, and continue to grow unabated.
Updating the information on these and other topics resulted in a
marked expansion of the book, which is now nearly four times as
long as the first edition, with 226 figures and 39 tables. Still, a
few topics, such as carbohydrate-binding cytokines or bacterial
toxins that are sometimes considered as lectins, have been dealt
with only in passing. Similarly to the first edition, Lectins II
starts with an overview of the history of lectin research.
