General description

Lectins are highly specific carbohydrate binding proteins useful in carbohydrate and cell membrane studies, as well as cell agglutination and typing techniques.
Wheat germ lectin, also known as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), has a molecular weight of 36 kDa. It shows affinity to 1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) oligomers and is useful in studying surface components of C. neoformans.

Immunogen
