Specification

• Description: Purified by affinity chromatography, Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNL/GNA) is composed of four identical subunits. This lectin was one of the original molecules used to understand how proteins recognize carbohydrates. Galanthus nivalis is found to bind to many viral glycoproteins, making it a useful tool in HIV research studies. Texas Red is a red-fluorescent dye and when bound to Galanthus nivalis Lectin (GNL/GNA) 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.
