Description

Agarose bound Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is prepared using 4% agarose beads. The receptor sugar for WGA is N-acetylglucosamine, with preferential binding to dimers and trimers of this sugar. WGA can bind oligosaccharides containing terminal N-acetylglucosamine or chitobiose, structures which are common to many serum and membrane glycoproteins. 

Features:

  • Bead diameter ranges in size from 45-165 microns
  • Matrix is stable in solutions at pH 3-11 as well as many organic solvents
  • Immobilized lectins are prepared using affinity purified lectins
  • Covalent attachment preserves lectin activity and minimizes conformational changes that might result in nonspecific or hydrophobic interactions
  • Conjugated proteins are not leached off the beads by Tris or other routinely used buffers
  • No residual charges present after conjugation.  This minimizes non-specific binding to the matrix
  • Product supplied as a 1:1 suspension in buffer

Unit Size 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml
Applications Glycobiology, Affinity Chromatography
Recommended Storage 2-8 °C DO NOT FREEZE
Solution 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 20 mM GlcNAc, 0.08% sodium azide
Recommended Usage Wash gel thoroughly with buffer before use to remove sugar added to stabilize the lectin. Recommended product for eluting glycoconjugates bound to this agarose-lectin: Glycoprotein Eluting solution, Cat. No. ES-5100. Alternately, 0.5 M N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine or Chitin Hydrolysate (Cat. No. SP-0090) can be used.For those glycoconjugates having very high affinity for WGA, it may be necessary to lower the pH of the eluting sugar solution to pH 3.0 with acetic acid. After use, wash the gel with several column volumes of buffered saline, then resuspend gel in buffered saline containing 0.08% sodium azide for storage.

Product FAQs

I purchased an agarose bound lectin from Vector Labs. Do you have a protocol outline on how this may be applied in a column format?

Our agarose lectin products are supplied as hydrated matrix solutions in amber glass bottles. The agarose (bead) material will settle and you will see two phases in the tube supplied. The upper phase is buffer. A column can be prepared in a commercial plastic device such as Bio-Rad Cat # 732-6008 or an inverted Pasteur pipet with glass wool lightly packed in the neck to retain the agarose. 1) Draw (pipet) the desired amount of settled agarose-lectin (gel) from the stock bottle into the prepared column and let the buffer drain by gravity.(Sometimes an air bubble in the column tip prevents flow; tapping the column should get the flow started). 2) Wash the gel with 10 column volumes of buffer, such as HBS (10 mM HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5) and discard the flow through. 3) Place a collection vessel (e.g. glass test tube) under the column tip and apply the glycoprotein-containing solution.Allow the solution to drain through using gravity. We recommend against pushing or pulling the material through the column. Retain the flow through material until the desired binding has been confirmed. 4) After sample application, wash column with 2-3 column volumes of buffer (or until the absorbance at 280nm is reduced to a satisfactory level) to remove unbound materials before elution. 5) Place a fresh collection vessel under the column tip.Apply the eluting solution again letting gravity do the work of moving the solution over the column. Note that in some cases, several column volumes of eluting solution may be required to achieved adequate release of bound material. 6) Following elution, the column can be prepared for reuse by washing with 10 column volumes of buffer. 7) If the column is to be stored, equilibrate the column with buffer containing 0.08% sodium azide. Cover the column with a plastic wrap, or similar, to prevent desiccation and keep at 4 degrees Celsius. The column will be stable for many months when stored under these conditions.

What are recommended conditions for using the agarose-lectin in chromatography?

The pH should be near neutral, the maximum pressure for packing the resin is 10 psi, and the maximum flow rate 3.5 ml/min.

Technical Information

Bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans, chitin, cartilage glycosaminoglycans, and glycolipids can also bind WGA. Native WGA has also been reported to interact with some glycoproteins via sialic acid residues (see succinylated WGA). This lectin is used for the purification of insulin receptors and for neuronal tracing.

Agarose bound* WGA is prepared using our affinity-purified lectins. Heat stable, cross-linked 4% agarose beads with a molecular weight exclusion limit of about 2x107 daltons are used as the solid-phase matrix to which the lectins are covalently coupled. The attachment of the lectins to the beads is carefully controlled to preserve lectin activity and minimize conformational changes of the bound lectins that might result in nonspecific ionic or hydrophobic interactions. The technique we have developed to couple lectins to agarose beads inserts a hydrophilic spacer arm between the lectin and the matrix.

This coupling method provides several advantages over the traditional cyanogen bromide procedure:

  • Maximum carbohydrate binding activity of the coupled lectins is retained
  • Linkage is stable over a range of pH values
  • Conjugated proteins are not leached off the beads by Tris or other routinely used buffers
  • No residual charges are present after conjugation. This minimizes non-specific binding to the matrix.

Our agarose bound lectins are supplied at a constant concentration of lectin per ml of settled beads. The concentration for each lectin is selected to achieve the highest glycoconjugate binding capacity per mg of lectin present in the beads. Each lot is tested for its binding capacity using glycoproteins known to bind the lectin. This provides a guideline for the user and assures the quality of our agarose bound lectins.

Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: Chitin Hydrolysate or 500 mM N-acetylglucosamine with salt and/or acid elution generally required

*5 mg lectin/ml gel
