Anti-Pectic polysaccharide, beta-1,4-galactan (monoclonal, clone LM5)

The plant cell wall surrounds the plant cell as a complex network of polysaccharides classed as: cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectic polysaccharides and glycoproteins. Anchored to or embedded into plant cell wall are other polymers, like: lignin, suberin or cutin. Homogalacturonan is a pectic polysaccharide of alpha-1,4 linked galacturonic acid residues. Pectin contains a complex set of polysaccharides that can be found in many primary cell walls.

Contains 0.05% Sodium Azide.No cross-reactivity with (1-3) -beta-D-galactans or (1-6) -beta-D-galactans.It recognizes a linear tetrasaccharide in (1-4) -beta-D-galactans.In ELISA (competitive inhibition), antibody is binding to: (1-4) -beta-D-galactan was inhibited (50%) by 58 µg/ml (1-4) -beta-D-galactotetraose and by 0.7 µg/ml lupin (1-4) -beta-D-galactan.

Store at +4°C (short term) and at -20°C (long term) . Make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from any material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
