General description

Lectin is present in several plants and some animals. It is a tetramer composed of identical sub-units.

Application

Lectin has been used in differential plating to separate Sertoli cells from the isolated cell population. It has also been used in differential plating of spermatogonial stem cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DSL is not blood group specific but has an affinity for oligomers of N-acetyl-glucosamine and N-acetyllactosamine. The lectin is a glycoprotein containing approx. 35% carbohydrate.
Lectin identifies and binds to carbohydrate complexes that extend from glycolipids and glycoproteins. It also binds to free-floating glycans, such as monosaccharides.

Quality

Highly purified.

Preparation Note

Purified by affinity chromatography

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions of a 1 mg/ml solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.
