• immunolabeling experiments
• immunohistochemistry
• immunocytochemistry

Anti-Lectin, Triticum vulgaris antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Wheat germ agglutinin is a lectin isolated from Triticum vulgaris that has affinity for chitin oligosaccharides, peptidoglycans and glycolipids via sialic acid residues. It is not specific for human blood groups and has been identified as antagonists of botulinum and tetanus toxins.

Target description

Lectins are highly specific carbohydrate binding proteins useful in carbohydrate and cell membrane studies, as well as cell agglutination and typing techniques.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 2 ml deionized water.
