PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Medicago AB Products Are Available Worldwide. For Research Use Only. Arachis hypogaea lectin (PNA, Peanut Agglutinin) is isolated from peanuts by affinity chromatography. The lectin has 4 sub-units and a molecular weight of 110 kDa. PNA is a carbohydrate-free protein that displays specificity towards β-D-Gal(1-3)-D-galNAc. It has potent anti-T activity and can be used to distinguish between human lymphocyte subsets. PNA has been used in tumour tissue determination for transitional mucosa malignancies. Arachis hypogaea lectin is supplied without preservatives as a lyophilized white to light-yellow powder from 10 mM NH₄HCO₃. For laboratory use only.
