Lectins are derived from the extracts of plants, animals, viruses and microorganisms and are known to agglutinate red blood cells. These agglutinins can select cell types according to blood group activities utilizing sugar-binding mechanisms. Lectins form precipitates with glycoconjugates and are useful for identifying or separating oligosaccharides with identical sugar compositions such as galactose, mannose or glucose. Carbohydrate Specificity: GalNAc> Gal Inhibitory Carbohydrate: High concentration lactose> B-galacatose Activity: S0072-20 agglutinates animal and human erythrocytes. The lectin has a slight preference for type B over A andtype O erythrocytes. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20C Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Important Note: Protect FITC conjugate from light. by performing protocol in dark room or with foil covering where possible
