Peanut lectin (PNA) is an identical tetrameric carbohydrate free protein with MW of 110 kDa. Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, T-antigen (Galβ1, 3GalNAc) is present on blood group M &N glycoproteins (after removal of sialic acid with neuraminidase), glyconjugates (Mucin type), gangliosides and many glycolipids. T antigen is rarely expressed on normal coloncytes whereas cells of malignant, premalignant cells express this antigen. Peanut lectin has widely been used to detect T antigen in malignant and premalignant cells. Peanut lectin contains one atom of Ca++ and Mg++ per unit.

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 (50-100 µl), followed by blocking with protein solution, Biotinylated lectin, Streptavidin enzyme conjugate, ELISA substrate.
