A tetramer double chain structure composed of 4 identical propolymers is obtained by affinity chromatography with an isoelectric pH of 7.8. The lectin is specific to blood type O (+SA) and t. Jacalin is considered a galactose-specific lectin that can be eluted with galactose or glycodisaccharide. Jacalin's post-translational proteolytic modification gives lectin a new carbohydrate binding site involving the N end of the α-chain. The structure of this protein explains its carbohydrate binding specificity for the t antigen disaccharide galß 1,3galnac. Effective inhibitors of jacalin include D-galactose, ß-Met-Gal and 2-deoxy-α-d-galactose. Abstract: The best staining properties of integrated Phyllostachy agglutinin (AIA) are obtained by labeling it with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and combining with appropriate amount of fluorescent dye. FITC conjugates have been used in a variety of immunohistochemical and flow cytometry applications. This product is a stable liquid.
