Description : | Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a lectin that is affinity purified from Triticum vulgaris and non-enzymatically binds to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and sialic acid residues of glycoproteins and glycolipids. This lectin protects Triticum vulgaris from insects, yeast and bacteria. WGA consists of two subunits and has a molecular weight of 36 kDa. It is an acidic protein and has mitogenic activity toward lymphocytes. It agglutinates erythrocytes and most types of malignant cells. Some lectins trigger mitogenic activities in differentiated or resting cells. These lectins do not cause toxicity. The correct concentration of affinity purified Triticum vulgaris (Wheat) Lectin (WGA) is provided in a sterile solution for stimulating cells that respond to the lectin. |
