Lectins are derived from the extracts of plants, animals, viruses and microorganisms and are known to agglutinate red blood cells. These agglutinins can select cell types according to blood group activities utilizing sugar-binding mechanisms.

Lectins form precipitates with glycoconjugates and are useful for identifying or separating oligosaccharides with identical sugar compositions such as galactose, mannose or glucose.

Carbohydrate Specificity:
Recognizes a complex branched chain oligosaccharide structure.

Inhibitory Carbohydrate:
Not inhibited by simple sugars.

Activity:
A mininum of 1mg/ml is required to agglutinate type O human erythrocytes.
< 0.5ug/ml will agglutinate neuraminidase treated cells.

Storage and Stability:
Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C.
