Agaricus bisporus Lectin (ABA/ABL) - Alexa Fluor 488

Agaricus bisporus Lectin (ABA/ABL) is isolated from edible mushroom and purified by using GalNAc Sepharose 4B. This Lectin is composed of four subunits with slightly different amino acid sequences and glycosylation specificity. ABA/ABL Lectin has high affinity for galactose--1,3-N-acetylgalactosamine (Gal-1,3-GalNAc; also known as T-antigen disaccharide) and galactose-1,3-N acetylglucosamine, but does not bind to monosaccharides. ABA is a potent mitogen for T cells and binds to serum protein IgA. Pure Lectin was conjugated with Alexa Fluor™ 488, is a bright green, fluorescent dye with an excitation 488 to maximum emission 519 nm. The ABA Alexa Fluor™ 488 conjugate is ideal for immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry. Alexa Fluor™ 488 dye is water soluble and pH-insensitive (pH 4 to pH 10), ensuring reliable performance across various conditions. This lectin-dye conjugate is optimized for cellular labeling and detection, making it a valuable tool for enhancing sensitivity in research applications.

Application: Glycobiology, Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence.

Recommended usage: Recommended concentrations 5 - 20 ug/ml in 1XPBS.
