Our lectin screening kits are designed to provide the investigator with a panel of seven lectins or lectin conjugates. The lectins have been selected to offer a variety of sugar specificities and are of the same high quality as the reagents offered individually. These bioinylated conjugates are prepared from our affinity-purified lectins and are optimally labeled with biotin. Essentially free of inactive lectin conjugates and containing no free biotin, these biotinylated lectins provide ideal intermediates for examining glycoconjugates using the Biotin-Avidin System. First a biotin-labeled lectin is added, followed by the VECTASTAIN® ABC Reagent, Avidin D conjugate, or streptavidin derivative. Another possible application is in the isolation of lymphokines and other products of mitogenic stimulation. |
