Concanavalin A (Con A) (Macrobeads)

These macrobeads are larger size (160-250 micron) than average agarose beads that facilitate coupling of cells and organelles and enzymes. Affinity-purified Concanavalin A (Jackbean) Lectin (Con A) was immobilized on 4% agarose macrobeads with proper configuration and stability of the lectin.||Source Antigen:|Jackbean||Blood Specificity:|Relatively weak blood agglutinin||Sugar Specificity:|alpha-Mannose, alpha-Glucose||Conjugate Specificity:|Agarose Beads||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|alpha-Methylmannoside + alpha-Methylglucoside||Divalent Ions:|Ca++, Mn++||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
