SBA preferentially binds to oligosaccharide structures of n-acetylgalactosamine with alpha - or beta - junctions at the end, and to a lesser extent to galactose residues. Binding can be prevented by substitution on the second-to-last sugar, such as the focal point attached to the second-to-last galactose in the type B blood substance. Fluorescein-labeled soybean lectins bind appropriate amounts of fluorescent pigments to provide the best staining properties for the lectins. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes. The excitation maximum is 495nm and the emission maximum is 515nm.
