General description

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins. They are omnipresent and usually found in fungi, plants and animals. The secondary structure of this protein is rich in β-strands and possesses carbohydrate binding sites on the surface.

Application

For the fluorescent detection of glycoproteins containing β(1→4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
Lectin from Triticum vulgaris (wheat) has been used:
  • to treat transfected cells for immunofluorescence
  • to stereotaxically inject into mice for neuronal tracing
  • in immunohistochemistry for the analysis of myocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin plays a key role in glycoconjugate characterizing, imaging and targeting. Its use in a microarray assay, enable efficient glycome profiling. In plants and fungi, lectin defends against pathogens/feeders. Lectin also plays a major role in host recognition and tissue adhesion.
WGA is not blood group specific but has an affinity for N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl residues and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine oligomers. WGA contains no protein-bound carbohydrate.

Packaging

Package size based on protein content.

Physical form

Contains phosphate buffer salts

Preparation Note

Conjugates are prepared from affinity purified lectin.

The technique to pattern aminosilanes on hydroxyl-terminated substrates will open up extensive applications in many fields. There are some existing methods to pattern aminosilanes, in particular, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) on SiO(2) and glass substrates through indirect routes. However, few reports focus
