Product code: LEC531-FLUO
Sugar specificity: N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)
Additional specificity details: D-GalNAc
Structure: Tetrameric lectin composed of four identical subunits of 30 kDa
SBA has specificity for blood groups A1, A2 and B. The lectin interacts better with neuramidase-treated cells than with untreated cells. It has selective affinity for lymphocytes and human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells. Immobilized conjugates of SBA are therefore important tools for removing T-cells in bone marrow transplantation.
Synonyms:Soy bean agglutini (SBA)
