Fluorescein labeled, succinylated Concanavalin A (Con A)

Succinylated Con A is made from our highly purified Con A and has many unusual properties such as failure to induce patch and cap formation, and, at high concentrations, does not show a diminished mitogenic effect. In addition, succinylated Con A affects cyclic nucleotide levels in lymphocytes differently than does native Con A.



Fluorescein labeled, Succinylated Con A 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.



Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 200 mM α-methylmannoside
