August 2013—Vector Laboratories now offers glycoprotein eluting solutions and neoglycoproteins. Five glycoprotein eluting solutions have been generated to complement the company’s range of agarose-bound lectins. These solutions maximize the yield of eluted glycoproteins from the beads and preserve lectin activity for repeat use.
Vector has synthesized nine neoglycoproteins, which consist of simple sugars coupled with highly purified bovine serum albumin. The neoglycoproteins are intended as positive controls to determine lectin binding activity in affinity columns and blotting. Each is supplied as a 10 mg/mL solution.
The glycoprotein eluting solutions are for mannose- or glucose-binding lectins, galactose- or GalNAc-binding lectins, fucose- or arabinose-binding lectins, GlcNAc- or chitin-binding lectins, and sialic acid-binding lectins.
The neoglycoproteins are BSA-mannose, BSA-galactose, BSA-fucose, BSA-GalNAc, BSA-chitin, BSA-GlcNAc, BSA-sialic acid, BSA-arabinose, and BSA-glucose.
