Description_x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 25, 100 mL in glass bottle_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Used for the purification of glycoproteins containing mannose._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Con A is not blood group specific but has an affinity for terminal α-D-mannosyl and α-D-glucosyl residues. Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions are required for activity. Con A dissociates into dimers at pH 5.6 or below. Between pH 5.8 and pH 7.0, Con A exists as a tetramer; above pH 7.0 higher aggregates are formed. Con A exhibits mitogenic activity which is dependent on its degree of aggregation. Succinylation results in an active dimeric form which remains a dimer above pH 5.6._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Suspension in 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH 6.0, containing 1 M NaCl, and 1 mM each of CaCl2 , MgCl2, and MnCl2_x000D_ Analysis Note_x000D_ Where reported, agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, containing Ca2+ and Mn2+ of a 1 mg per mL solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Sepharose is a registered trademark of Cytiva
