Jacalin, Fluorescein

SKU:: FL-1151-5
Additional Names:: Lectins & Glycobiology Reagents [Lectins ], Artocarpus integrifolia Lectin, Jackfruit, galactosyl (Beta-1;3) N-acetylgalactosamine binding lectin
Application:: Immunofluorescence
Conjugate:: FITC
Extra Details:: This lectin appears to bind only O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides, preferring the structure galactosyl (β-1,3) N-acetylgalactosamine. This structure (the T-antigen) is the oligosaccharide to which peanut agglutinin (PNA) binds. However, unlike PNA, Jacalin will bind a mono- or disialylated form of this structure. This lectin has been used to purify human IgA. The specificity of this lectin also affords the opportunity to localize or isolate glycoproteins with O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide side chains. Fluorescein labeled Jacalin has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin. This conjugate is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorochromes. The excitation maximum is at 495 nm and the emission maximum is at 515 nm.
