Localization of Cuticular Binding Sites of Concanavalin A on Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognita.

Utilizing a Concanavalin A (Con A)-hemocyanin conjugate, the majority of cuticular Con A binding sites were shown to be localized on the head region of Caenorhabclitis elegans and Meloidogyne incognita. Secretions which apparently emanated from the amphids and inner labial papillae did not label.
