General description
Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) is a homotetrameric protein of 110 kDa.
Application
Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) has been used:
- to detect Thomson-Friedenreich antigen
- as a component in PBS to study its effects on cell viability
- to study its ability to block the binding site
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) possess specificity towards β -
PNA does not agglutinate normal human erythrocytes, but strongly agglutinates neuraminidase treated erythrocytes. PNA has potent anti-T activity similar to the anti-T antibody in human sera. The lectin can be used to distinguish between human lymphocyte subsets.
Analysis Note
Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of neuraminidase treated human blood group O erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.
