Biochem/physiol Actions
PHA consists of two molecular species, an erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) which has low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinin activity, and leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) which has high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, but very low erythroagglutinating activity.
PHA-E is not blood group specific, but agglutination can be inhibited by certain oligosaccharides. PHA-P is the protein form of PHA prior to separation and purification of erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin. PHA-M is the mucoprotein form. Conjugates are prepared from the corresponding purified lectins.

What do the designations -P, -L, -M, and -E represent in the names of PHA products?
1 answer-
Generally, PHA-P or PHA-L is utilized to stimulate lymphocytes, although PHA-M will also work, but not to the same degree. The most active form is PHA-L (the mitogenic concentration is < 5μg/ml). PHA, or Phytohemagglutinin, comprises two molecular species:
1. Erythroagglutinin (PHA-E), which demonstrates low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinating activity.
2. Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), which possesses high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, accompanied by very low erythroagglutinating activity.
PHA-P represents the protein form of PHA before the erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin components are separated and purified. PHA-M refers to the mucoprotein form of Phytohemagglutinin.

How should the PHA solution using Phytohemagglutinin PHA-P powder be prepared for cell culture?
1 answer-
The stock solution of this product can be prepared in phosphate buffered saline at pH 6.8, resulting in a clear to slightly hazy solution at a concentration of 5 mg per mL. This stock solution can then be diluted in cell culture medium to a working concentration of 10 micrograms of lectin per mL for use in peripheral blood cell culture.

What is the shelf life once reconstituted in PBS?
1 answer-
After reconstitution in PBS, this product can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-4 weeks. PHA loses approximately 30% activity after 1 month. Stock solutions of at least 1 mg/mL can be stored in frozen aliquots. Do not dilute to the working concentration until ready to use. Vortex stock solutions prior to use.
