Phaseolus vulgaris Lectin (PHA-E+L) - Pure
Price: Regular price $199.76
Product Description
Affinity Purified Phaseolus vulgaris lectin (PHA E+L, also known as PHA P, P standing for phytohemagglutinin) is affinity purified lectin consists of two isolectins PHA-E and PHA-L, erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin, of which both possess strong mitogenic activity. PHA P has a molecular weight of 122 kDa and an isoelectric point between pH 5.2 and pH 6.2. It has a carbohydrate specificity for complex oligosaccharides and elutes with bovine thyroglobulin or acetic acid. This lectin agglutinates blood group A (-SA).
PHA P can be used for mitogenic stimulation to human lymphocytes. It has the potential to induce closer contacts between adjacent cell membranes and has been successfully used for membrane-induced fusion in human oocytes, bovine oocyte, and caprine oocytes. PHA E+L reacts strongly with Galß4GlcNAcß2Manα6(GlcNAcß4)(GlcNAcß4Manα3)Manß4 and Galß4GlcNAcß6(GlcNAcß2Manα3)Manα3 complex sugars. This lectin is used to bind to central nervous system cells such as the HNK-1 antigen.
Phytohemagglutinin was direct evidence for the involvement of bacterial lectins in the initiation of infection, the basis for present attempts in academia and industry to apply carbohydrates for anti-adhesion therapy of such diseases.
Recommended Usage: Recommended dilutions of 0.5 – 10 μg/ml in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MnCl2. Less than 0.5 ug /ml will agglutinate neuraminidase treated human erythrocytes.
