Anti-Pectic polysaccharide, alpha-1,5-arabinan (monoclonal, clone LM13)

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. Pectins are the major polysaccharides that build pectic matrix of plant primary cell walls.

Pectic polysaccharide, alpha-1,5-arabinan, This antibody was isolated from a high throughput screen of many antibodies generated by immunization with a pectic fraction

Contains 0.05% Sodium Azide.Antibody recognition of arabinans increases with arabinofuranosidase action. Binds to a specific subset of pectic arabinans, and to longer stretches of 1,5-linked arabinosyl residues that are likely to be more abundant in unbranched arabinans.

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.
