Although tomato lectins share some properties with potato lectins, datura lectins, and wheat germ lectins, they are reported to be different in many ways. LEL binds well to glycoproteins and TAM-Horsfall glycoproteins and has been effectively used to label vascular endothelium in rodents. Biotinylated lycoplectins bind the appropriate amount of biotin to provide the best staining properties for this lectin. This conjugate contains essentially no unconjugated biotin and is preserved with sodium azide.
