Specification

• Description: Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a lectin that is affinity purified from Triticum vulgaris and non-enzymatically binds to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and sialic acid residues of glycoproteins and glycolipids. This lectin protects Triticum vulgaris from insects, yeast and bacteria. WGA consists of two subunits and has a molecular weight of 36 kDa. It is an acidic protein and has mitogenic activity toward lymphocytes. It agglutinates erythrocytes and most types of malignant cells. MicroPassTM microcolumns are prepared by conjugating Separopore® 4B with affinity purified (AffyPureTM) Triticum vulgaris Lectin (WGA). These microcolumns are used for MS and proteomic analysis to analyze of <100μL samples.
