Allium sativum Lectin (ASA) - FITC (Fluorescein)
Price: Regular price $222.53
Product Description
Allium sativum lectin (ASA) is isolated from garlic and purified with affinity chromatography. It is a dimer of two subunits. ASA binds to several α1-2-linked mannose residues. The lectin recognizes internal mannose and binds to the core pentasaccharide of N-linked glycans. In addition, the removal of sialic acids enhances binding activity. ASA has shown antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity, making it a relative subject in cancer research.
Allium sativum Lectin (ASA) is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin. FITC conjugates have been used in a variety of immunohistochemical and flow cytometry applications.
Applications: Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry, Glycobiology.
Recommended Usage: Recommended dilution ranges 0.5 – 10 µg/ml. 1XPBS can be used for reconstitution. Less than 0.5 ug /ml will agglutinate rabbit erythrocytes.
