Related Product Information for Galanthus nivalis lectin
Galanthus nivalis lectin is a small molecular weight tetramer consisting of subunits of about 13,000D. It has an isoelectric point below pH 4.6. The lectin contains little or no carbohydrate and, unlike most mannose-specific lectins, is not a metalloprotein and does not require Ca++ or Mn++ for binding. Binding seems to be preferentially directed toward structures containing (a-1,3) mannose residues. Also in contrast to most mannose-binding lectins, GNL will not bind alpha linked glucose. Reports indicate that this lectin binds IgM but not IgG of the immunoglobulin classes of rat and mouse. The only protein from human serum reported to bind to this lectin is a2-macroglobulin. This biotinylated lectin conjugate is prepared from affinity-purified lectin and is optimally labeled with biotin. Essentially free of inactive lectin conjugate and containing no free biotin, this biotinylated lectin provides an ideal intermediate for examining glycoconjugates using the Biotin-Avidin System. First the biotin-labeled lectin is added, followed by ABC Reagent, Avidin D conjugate, or streptavidin derivative. Another possible application is in the isolation of lymphokines and other products of mitogenic stimulation.

Product Notes
The Galanthus nivalis (Catalog #AAA656150) is a Lectin and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Galanthus nivalis can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: ELISA: 5-20ug/ml Western Blot: 5-20ug/ml Immunohistochemistry: 5-20ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Galanthus nivalis for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galanthus nivalis, Lectin" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
