• Cat.No.: Lectin-1835R
• Product Overview: Ricin A chain has been isolated from extremely toxic, highly purified RCA II.

Specification

• Species: Ricinus Communis
• Source: Ricinus Communis
• Tag: Non
• Description: Ricin A chain has been isolated from extremely toxic, highly purified RCA II. Our ricin A chain has less than 0.01% of the toxicity of the native lectin in a cell culture test system, yet is as potent as native ricin in a cell-free protein synthesis assay. The A chain is supplied in buffered saline with sodium azide as a preservative.
• Form: 10 mM phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5, 0.08% sodium azide, 50 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.1% polyethylene glycol (M.W. 3300)
• Molecular Mass: 28 kDa
• Applications: Blotting Applications, Glycobiology
• Usage: Although this product lacks the toxicity of native ricin, exercise caution when using Ricin A Chain. Conjugates can be extremely toxic! DO NOT LYOPHILIZE THIS PRODUCT.
• Storage: 4 centigrade, DO NOT FREEZE.
  NOTE: Ricin A Chain may precipitate irreversibly at
  temperatures above 30 centigrade
• Concentration: 1 mg/ml
