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. Texas Red is a red-fluorescent dye and when bound to Arachis hypogaea (Peanut) Lectin (PNA) can show the binding pattern of this lectin in cellular imaging applications. There is very little overlap between the emission spectra of Texas Red and FITC making this combination ideal for dual-labeling experiments. Rhodamine dyes, such as Texas Red, are more photostable and less sensitive to pH change when compared to other dyes such as fluorescein.
