Description			Psophocarpus tetragonolobus lectin (PTL I, psophocarpin B1, a storage protein with chymotrypsin inhibitory activity), is isolated from winged bean seeds and purified by fractionation. The seed contains two lectins in which PTL I is the basic of the two. PTL I is a dimeric glycoprotein with specificity to GalNAc, with eluting sugar GalNAc. This lectin agglutinates trypsinized rabbit and human erythrocytes (type A and B) but not trypsinized human type O erythrocytes. PTL I recognize blood group A-substance derived oligosaccharides such as trisaccharide GalNAcalpha1-3Galβ1-4Glc. Source: Winged bean Blood Specificity: Rabbit Agglutinin, O (- SA) Sugar Specificity: N-Acetylgalactosamine, Galactose Inhibitory Carbohydrate: N-Acetylgalactosamine Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile buffer or ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
