Extra Details:: Purified Tulipa sp. lectin (TL), Biotin conjugated. 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: N-Acetylgalactosamine, Galactose, Fucose Inhibitory Carbohydrate: Not inhibited by simple sugars. Fetuin, asialofetuin and thyroglobulin will inhibit agglutination. Activity: At a concentration of 1mg/ml pure TL does not visibly agglutinate human type A, B, or O blood cells. Less than 250ug/ml will agglutinate neuraminidase treated type O cells.
