Euonymus europaeus Lectin (EEL/EEA) - HRP (Horseradish peroxidase)

Product Description

Affinity purified Euonymus europaeus lectin or agglutinin (EEL/EEA) is composed with most of the subunits that appear to consist of two chains linked by disulfide bonds. EEL consists of six closely related lectins (isoforms). EEL is identified for its erythrocyte agglutinating properties and specificity for blood groups B and H. It has a stronger binding of the H trisaccharide over the B trisaccharide, but has a general pattern of interacting with both B and H blood groups and α-mannose-terminated saccharides. EEL has a preferential recognition of terminal α-fucose residues in H and B blood group-related carbohydrates. This lectin binds to endothelial cells from human and non-human sources and recognizes carbohydrate structures on the surface of stimulated murine peritoneal lymphoid cells. See other EEL/EEA conjugates.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a 40 kDa protein that catalyzes the oxidation of substrates by hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a colored or fluorescent product or release of light as a byproduct of the reaction. It is most commonly used for blotting, immunoassays and immunohistochemistry methods. Euonymus europaeus Lectin (EEL/EEA) is conjugated to HRP at an appropriate ratio to provide optimal staining characteristics.
