Catalog numbers L1668 and L8902 are suitable for cell culture assays and cell stimulation. The end user needs to design and optimize the assays. These products have not been specifically tested for intracellular cytokine staining assays. It is recommended to review the literature for further information.

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.

Preparation Note
Purified by a modification of the method of Leavitt.[1]
Analysis Note
Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a suspension of either human erythrocytes (2% in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8) or human leukocytes (107 per mL in saline) after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.
Tested for leucoagglutination.

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.
