The purification procedure was carried out by crude extract precipitation with ammonium sulfate 30% (FI). The precipitated was resuspended in the same buffer and fractionated with acetone 1.0 volume (F1.0). A lectin was purified from this specific fraction by using an affinity chromatography Sepharose 6B. This lectin preferentially agglutinated human erythrocytes from B type previously treated with papain enzyme. The hemagglutinating activity lectin was dependent of divalent Mn2+ cation and was inhibited by the carbohydrates galactose, xylose and fructose. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated a molecular mass of the lectin around 45 kDa. This protein showed stability until 40?C for 1 h. Further, it showed activity between pH 2.5 and 11.5, with an enhanced activity at pH 7.5. Leishmania chagasi promastigotes stained with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 were agglutinated by F1,0 and in the presence of galactose this interaction was abolished. These results show that this lectin could be implicated in defense procedures and it will can be used as biological tools in studies with this protozoon / Uma lectina foi purificada e caracterizada da esponja marinha Tedania ignis. O procedimento de purifica??o foi conduzido a partir do extrato bruto obtido por solubiliza??o em tamp?o B?rax 50mM, pH 7,5 e precipita??o prot?ica com 30% de sulfato de am?nio (FI). O precipitado foi dissolvido no tamp?o de extra??o e fracionado com 1,0 volume de acetona (F1,0). A lectina foi purificada desta fra??o por meio de cromatografia de afinidade em Sepharose 6B. A prote?na apresentou uma massa molecular de 45 kDa, conforme determinada por eletroforese em poliacrilamida em SDS, e se mostrou est?vel at? a temperatura de 40?C, por 1 hora. Uma curva de pH foi conduzida entre os valores de pH 2,5 a 11,5, onde observou-se uma maior atividade em pH 7,5. Dentre os eritr?citos humanos testados ela aglutinou preferencialmente os do tipo B tratados com papa?na. A atividade hemaglutinante da lectina foi dependente do c?tion bivalente Mn+2 e foi inibida pelos carboidratos galactose, xilose e frutose. Formas promastigotas de Leishmania chagasi coradas com Coomassie blue R-250 foram aglutinadas por F1,0 e na presen?a de galactose essa intera??o n?o foi observada. Esses resultados indicam que essa lectina pode estar envolvida no processo de defesa e que pode vir a ser utilizada como ferramenta biol?gica nos estudos com esse protozo?rio
