Macroalgin I binds to many glycoproteins and glycolipids containing α-linked focal residues, such as ABO blood group glycoconjugates. This lectin binds preferentially to blood type O cells and has been used to determine secretion status. It has been identified as an excellent marker for human endothelial cells. DyLight 594 labeled Euroulus lectin I has the right amount of fluorescent dye binding to provide the best staining properties for this lectin. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes.
