This lectin is a 150,000 molecular weight tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of four disulfide-linked chains, two of about 36,000D and two of about 38,000D. Sambucus nigra lectin binds preferentially to sialic acid attached to terminal galactose in (a-2,6), and to a lesser degree, (a-2,3), linkage. Binding is also inhibited to some extent by lactose or galactose. This lectin does not appear to bind sialic acid linked to N-acetylgalacto-samine. SNA has been reported to inhibit cell-free protein synthesis.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Elution:
500mM lactose in buffered saline followed by 500mM lactose in acetic acid
