form

lyophilized powder

potency

<16 μg/mL agglutination activity

composition

Protein, ~50% Lowry

storage temp.

−20°C

Biochem/physiol Actions

VAA is not blood group specific, but has an affinity for terminal β-D-galactosyl residues. VAA inhibits protein synthesis similarly to Ricin (RCA60) and inhibits allergen induced histamine release in vitro from human leukocytes.

Physical form

Highly purified, lyophilized powder containing phosphate buffer salts. Package size based on protein content.

Preparation Note

Purified by affinity chromatography using a modification of the method of Ziska.

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 human blood group O erythrocytes after 1 hour incubation at 25 °C.

Experientia, 34(1), 123-124 (1978-01-15)
A lectin from Viscum album which specifically binds to D-galactose was isolated by affinity chromatography on O-lactosyl-, O-galactosyl-polycarylamide or hydrolized sepharose 4 B. Some serological and physicochemical properties of the agglutination are reported.
