ConA-Biotin Conjugated
Concanavalin A is a lectin protein (MW 104kDa), homotetramer 26 kDa; originally extracted from the jack-bean, Canavalia ensiformis. It binds specifically to certain structures found in various sugars α-mannosyl and α-glucosyl residues in glycoproteins.
Concanavalin A is a lectin protein (MW 104kDa), homotetramer 26 kDa; originally extracted from the jack-bean, Canavalia ensiformis. It binds specifically to certain structures found in various sugars α-mannosyl and α-glucosyl residues in glycoproteins. It was the first lectin to be available on a commercial basis and is widely used in biology and biochemistry to characterize glycoproteins and other sugar-containing entities. It is also used to purify macromolecules in lectin affinity chromatography. Concanavalin A interacts with diverse receptors containing mannose carbohydrates (serum and membrane glycoproteins).ConA agglutinate strongly erythrocytes without being blood group specific, and cancerous cells. Normal cells agglutinate after trypsinisation. ConA is a also a lymphocyte mitogen.ConA reacts with many bacteria, like E. coli Dictyostelium discoideum et B. substilis It is also widely believed to be involved in the interaction between alpha-mannosyl oligosaccharides on the surface of the HIV virus and the human T cell lymphocyte.

Histochemistry 1:250-1:1000; WB 1:500-1:2,500; ELISA 1:500-1:2,500.
Dilute biotinylated lectin in PBS containing 0.1 mM calcium chloride ions.
For Histochemistry: the tissues are processed same as for Immunohistochemistry, after blocking step biotinylated lectin is applied followed by streptavidin conjugated to enzyme and chromogen.
For WB: incubate membrane with blocking protein followed by biotinylated lectin, streptavidin enzyme conjugate and chromogen.
For ELISA: the target proteins are absorbed on ELISA plate at a concentration of 5-10 µg/ml, followed by blocking with protein solution followed by Biotinylated lectin, Streptavidin enzyme conjugate, ELISA substrate.
