Description			Lectins are derived from the extracts of plants, animals, viruses and microorganisms and are known to agglutinate red blood cells. These agglutinins can select cell types according to blood group activities utilizing sugar-binding mechanisms. Lectins form precipitates with glycoconjugates and are useful for identifying or separating oligosaccharides with identical sugar compositions such as galactose, mannose or glucose. Carbohydrate Specificity: (GlcNAc-b-(1,4)-GlcNAc)1-4>b-GlcNAc >Neu5AC Inhibitory Carbohydrate: GlcNAc-b-(1,4) GlcNAc b(1,4) GlcNAc> GlcNAc b(1,4) GlcNAc>GlcNAc >>sialic acid (Neu5AC)>> Gal NAc Activity: <4mg/ml will agglutinate human type O erythrocytes. <1ug/ml will agglutinate neuraminidase treated erythricytes. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C.
