Specification

• Description: Arachis hypogaea agglutinin (PNA) is purified by affinity chromatography and is consisting of four subunits of approximately 27,000 each. This lectin has an isoelectric point between pH 5. 5 and pH 6. 5. Although extracts of Arachis hypogaea do not agglutinate untreated or trypsin-treated human erythrocytes, PNA has been known to agglutinate neuraminidase-treated human red blood cells. PNA may be used for clinical determination of T-polyagglutinability of erythrocytes and probing cell membranes of normal and malignant cells. This lectin can be of use in characterization of tumor-specific antigens on the surface of malignant cells. It can be employed in the fractionation of stem cells in mice for use in bone marrow transplantation across histocompatibility barriers. Separopore® macrobeads are larger size (160-250 micron) than average agarose beads that facilitate coupling of cells and organelles and enzymes. Affinity-purified Arachis hypogaea (Peanut) Lectin (PNA) was immobilized on 4% agarose macrobeads with proper configuration and stability of the lectin.
