Specification

• Species: Lentil
• Source: Lentil
• Description: This lectin is useful in affinity chromatography columns for the separation of glycoconjugates. The two isomers LCA-A and LCA-B agglutinates human red blood cells, although not blood group specific. Activity of LCA is determined by haemagglutination with human blood and agglutinates a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes at a lectin concentration of 8μg/ml. LCA requires calcium and manganese ions for binding.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Molecular Mass: 46 kDa
• Purity: Affinity purified
• Storage: At -20 centigrade.
