Fluorescein labeled Maclura Pomifera Lectin (MPL)

There appear to be two different chains in combinations giving rise to five isolectins. The carbohydrate specificity of either type of subunit appears to be the same, preferring α-linked N-acetylgalactosamine structures.



Fluorescein labeled Maclura pomifera 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.
