culinaris lectin (LCA) recognizes sequences containing alpha-linked mannose residues, but recognizes additional sugars as part of the receptor structure, making its specificity narrower than that of Con a. The α-linked focused residues attached to the n-acetyl-chitosan portion of the core oligosaccharide significantly enhance the affinity. By taking advantage of this increased specificity, after the initial separation of Con A. DyLight™649, glycoproteins and glycopeptides can be reduced with LCA labeled with the appropriate amount of binding fluorescent dye, which provides the best staining properties for this lectin. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes.
