Specification

• Description: This lectin is useful in affinity chromatography columns for the separation of glycoconjugates. The two isomers LCA-A and LCA-B agglutinates human red blood cells, although not blood group specific. Activity of LCA is determined by haemagglutination with human blood and agglutinates a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes at a lectin concentration of 8 μg/ml. LCA requires calcium and manganese ions for binding. Separopore® macrobeads are larger size (160-250 micron) than average agarose beads that facilitate coupling of cells and organelles and enzymes. Affinity-purified Lens culinaris (Lentil) Lectin (LCA/LCH) was immobilized on 4% agarose macrobeads with proper configuration and stability of the lectin.
