The lectin is carbohydrate-specific to α-linked n-acetylgalactosamine. It has been used to establish the secretory state of blood type A individuals in hemagglutination inhibition techniques and blood type. This lectin is also used as a general marker of renal collector development. Rhodamine-labeled lectin combined with appropriate amount of fluorescent dye provided the best staining properties for this lectin. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes. The excitation maximum is at 575 nm and the emission maximum is at 600 nm.
