    This document lists common dietary lectins and agglutinins and the tissues and cells in the human body that they can bind to. It shows that different lectins bind to different tissues, such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binding to skin, sweat glands, nasal epithelium, and more. Soy bean agglutinin (SBA) binds to endothelium, mucosa, tonsils, and other locations. The document provides a comprehensive chart of which lectins can bind to which specific tissues and cells throughout the body.
