| 产品介绍 |
Arachis hypogaea lectin or Peanut Agglutinin (PNA) is isolated from peanuts and purified by affinity chromatography. The lectin has a molecular weight of 110 kDa and consists of four identical subunits of approximately 27 kDa each.
PNA is a carbohydrate-free protein that displays specificity towards ?-D-Gal(1-3)-D-galNAc. It has potent anti-T activity and can be used to distinguish between human lymphocyte subsets. PNA has been used in tumour tissue determination for transitional mucosa malignancies. The lectin also agglutinates neuraminidase-treated human erythrocytes at < 0.1 μg/ml after trypsin treatment of cells and its activity is inhibited by lactose and galactose.
PNA lectin is provided as a white to light yellow lyophilized powder from a buffer containing 10 mM NH4HCO3. The purity is determined by SDS-PAGE, which generates one band at 25-27 kDa. |
| 备注 |
The lectin may be reconstituted with 2 ml of sterile PBS buffer, pH 7.4 before use. Spin the vial gently until full dissolution. Aggregation is thought to occur in the presence of high concentrations of 2-mercaptoethanol. |
