Wisteria floribunda lectin (WFA, WFL), Fluorescein labeled

Wisteria Floribunda Lectin (WFA, WFL), Fluorescein, 2 mg. The binding specificity of Wisteria floribunda lectin (WFL) is not completely clear but it appears to preferentially bind carbohydrate structures terminating in N-acetylgalactosamine-linked alpha or beta to the 3 or 6 position of galactose. This lectin has been used to fractionate lymphocyte populations, and though not mitogenic, elicits the production of lymphokines from murine splenocytes. This product has an appropriate number of fluorochromes to provide the optimum staining characteristics and is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorochromes. Excitation maximum: 495 nm; Emission maximum: 515 nm. Accompanying each fluorescent lectin is an analysis data sheet summarizing the results of quality control tests and providing pertinent information on the product. Supplied as solution preserved with sodium azide. Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 200 mM N-acetylgalactosamine.
