Description
PHA consists of two molecular species and two protein forms
- Erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) has low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinin activity. It is not blood group specific, but agglutination can be inhibited by certain oligosaccharides.
- Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) has high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, but very low erythroagglutinating activity.
- PHA-P is the protein form of PHA prior to separation and purification of erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin.
- PHA-M is the mucoprotein form.
- Conjugates are prepared from the corresponding purified lectins.
Reconstitute with water to a final concentration of 25mg/mL This concentration of the lectin has been used for iontophoresis and neuron transport. Phytohemagglutin is very valuable in a wide variety of applications in vitro, , including:
- Blood grouping and erythrocyte polyagglutination studies
- Mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes
- Lymphocyte subpopulation studies
- Fractionation of cells and other particles
- Histochemical studies of normal and pathological conditions
