Use of PHA (Phytohemagglutinins)

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) is a lectin, obtained from the red kidney bean that binds to the membranes of T-cells, stimulates metabolic activity, cell division, and involves inflammatory pathways. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) induces apoptosis via increasing proapoptotic protein Bax and activating caspases-3[1][2][3].
