Vector Laboratories Phaseolus Vulgaris Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) Fluorescein-labeled 2 mg

Supplier:  Vector Laboratories FL11112

Phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin (PHA) is a family of lectins, each consisting of four subunits. There are two different types of subunits: the "E" subunit (for erythroagglutinin) is involved primarily in red cell agglutination, and the "L" subunit (for lymphocyte) is involved in lymphocyte agglutination and mitogenic activity. These subunits combine to produce five isolectins. PHA-L has four "L" type subunits, does not agglutinate red cells, but is a potent mitogen. It is a specific marker for use in anterograde neuronal tracing. This fluorescein-labeled PHA-L features a ratio of fluorophores to lectin protein that provides optimal staining (excitation 495 nm, emission 515 nm). Supplied as a solution essentially free of unconjugated fluorophores, it is preserved with sodium azide. The recommended inhibiting/eluting sugar is 100 mM acetic acid.
