Novus Biologicals™ Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin I (GSL I) Isolectin B4 Native Protein

Description

Highly purified and high bioactivity. Generating reliable and reproducible results.

• A biologically active protein corresponding to Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin I (GSL I) Isolectin B4
• Source: Griffonia (Bandeiraea) simplicifolia seeds
• GSL I-B4 isolectin contains only the B subunits.
• It is a useful marker for endothelial cells from nonprimates such as mouse, rat, rabbit, and goat as well as a marker for non-peptidergic unmyelinated primary afferent neurons.
• This “B”-rich lectin preferentially agglutinates blood group B cells and is specific for alpha-galactose residues.
• Fluorescein labeled GSL I-B4 has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin.
• This conjugate is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorescein and is preserved with sodium azide.
• Excitation maximum = 495 nm; emission maximum = 515 nm. Color = green.
