Lectins are ubiquitous in nature, and present in plants, animals, viruses, and microorganisms. Lectins are defined as carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups and thus cause agglutination of particular cells or precipitation of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides. CD BioGlyco has launched a wide range of lectin-related products, including lectin, lectin buffers, lectin kits, anti-lectin antibodies, lectin-coated microplates, and lectin columns. These products have become increasingly important tools in the field of molecular and cell biology for studying glycoproteins and carbohydrates.
Lectins are non-immune proteins or glycoproteins isolated from various natural sources (including plants and animals) that bind to specific carbohydrates. CD BioGlyco offers thousands of high-quality lectin products to clients, including pure lectins, lectins conjugated to fluorescent dyes, enzymes, or other markers. These lectins are derived from different plants and conjugated to alkaline phosphatase, biotin, colloidal gold, ferritin, fluorescein (FITC), peroxidase, agarose, Dylight dye, rhodamine, cyanine3 (Cy3), cyanine5 (Cy5), Texas Red, etc. These products can be used for cell surface labeling, glycoprotein purification, and carbohydrate analysis. Please find more information about these pure lectin products and conjugated lectin products at Lectin.

We provide clients with a variety of carbohydrate-specific lectin kits, such as fucose-specific lectin kits, galactose-specific lectin kits, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-specific lectin kits, and mannose-specific lectin kits. These kits specifically recognize fucose, galactose, GalNAc, and mannose. We also provide a variety of lectin screening kits, which are labeled with different fluorophores (Cy3, Cy5, FITC, rhodamine) or substrates (alkaline phosphatase, biotinylation, peroxidase). Each set of lectins in the kit has different glycan binding properties to facilitate your research. Please find more related kit products on Lectin Kits.
Anti-lectin antibodies are specific antibodies that recognize and bind to lectins and are used to detect and quantify lectins in various biological samples by techniques such as western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunohistochemistry. We provide our clients with anti-lectin antibodies produced by immunizing goats with pure lectins, which they separate by affinity chromatography on lectin-agarose columns. These lectins are provided in buffered saline and are labeled with biotin, FITC, peroxidase, rhodamine, etc. Please find more related products on Anti-lectin Antibodies.
CD BioGlyco offers clients a variety of lectin microcolumns, OnePass columns, and cartridges. Microcolumns are designed for small samples for protein fingerprinting and used for mass spectrometry (MS) and proteomics analysis. OnePass columns are pre-loaded with standard lectin matrices, which are quickly separated by gravity flow or spin columns to avoid cross-contamination. Cartridges are used to quickly capture affinity-bound material and retain it during washing, and then elute affinity-purified material for protein chromatography analysis. Find more related products on Lectin Columns.
Lectin buffers are designed to create optimal conditions for lectin activity and stability in a variety of applications. We offer three types of lectin buffers to our clients, including lectin mitogen solution, lectin elution buffer, and lectin binding buffer. Lectin mitogen solution is used to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of cells that respond to lectins in vitro and is essential for lymphocyte activation assays and cell studies. Lectin elution buffer is used to release bound glycoproteins or glycans from lectin affinity matrices, ensuring efficient recovery of analytes without compromising their integrity. Lectin binding buffer promotes optimal binding of glycoproteins to lectins in affinity chromatography. In the table, we list some of our lectin buffer products. Please find more lectin products on our website to suit your needs.
Lectin-coated microplates are laboratory tools specifically designed for studying and analyzing glycoproteins, cell adhesion, and other carbohydrate-protein interactions. Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that specifically recognize and bind to carbohydrates on a variety of biomolecules. We immobilize affinity-purified lectins (e.g., AIA, Con A, LCA, WGA) on microplates, allowing researchers to capture and study glycoproteins, enzymes, cell membranes, or ELISA with high specificity and sensitivity.

Results: ConA is a potent antitumor agent that binds to multiple receptors on cancer cells and normal cells and modulates related signaling cascades. The authors not only outline the effects of ConA on signaling and immune cell function but also reveal the latest advances in the molecular mechanisms by which ConA induces autophagy and apoptosis in various cancer cell types. The study found that it mainly induces P73 and JAK/STAT3 signaling.
