Active Native Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin I isolectin B4 Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1786G
• Product Overview: This product is the unconjugated Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin I isolectin B4 and has sugar specificity against Galactose.

Specification

• Description: GSL I-B4 isolectin contains only the B subunits. It is a useful marker for endothelial cells from nonprimates such as mouse, rat, rabbit, and goat as well as a marker for non-peptidergic unmyelinated primary afferent neurons. This “B”-rich lectin preferentially agglutinates blood group B cells and is specific for α-galactose residues.
• Source: Griffonia Simplicifolia
• Species: Griffonia Simplicifolia
• Bio-activity: This product will agglutinate blood group B glutaraldehyde-fixed human red blood cells at a concentration of 2 µg/ml. No agglutination of blood group A,
  glutaraldehyde-fixed, human red blood cells occurred at concentrations up to 100 µg/ml.
  Inhibiting Sugar: 500 mM galactose or 100 mM raffinose
• Molecular Mass: 114 kDa
• Applications: Immunohistochemistry / Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Blotting Applications, Glycobiology
• Storage: Refrigerate in the dark.
• Reconstitution: Although many buffers can be employed for reconstituting and diluting this lectin, 10 mM HEPES buffered saline, pH 8.5, 0.1 mM Ca2+ is recommended. For preserving solutions, stored at 4 centigrade, 0.08% sodium azide can be used.
