Description
| This lectin is a 66 kDa to 70 kDa dimer composed of two subunits of about 35 kDa. Four bands are resolved by isoelectric focusing. Unlike most lectins, ACL binds best in mildly acidic conditions. Although this lectin preferentially binds to oligosaccharides containing the galactosyl (β-1,3) N-acetylgalactosamine structure (T-antigen), tissue staining patterns are markedly different than those obtained with either peanut agglutinin or Jacalin. Amaranthus caudatus lectin also appears to tolerate sialic acid substitution at the 3 position of galactose in the “T” antigen. Fluorescein labeled Amaranthus caudatus lectin has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin. This conjugate is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorochromes. The excitation maximum is at 495 nm and the emission maximum is at 515 nm. Accompanying each fluorescent lectin is an analysis data sheet summarizing the results of our quality control tests and providing pertinent information on the product. All of these reagents are supplied as solutions perserved with sodium azide. Inhibitor: Desialyzed fetuin or bovine submaxillary mucin |
