≤4 μg/mL agglutination activity

composition

Protein, 20-40% Lowry

Biochem/physiol Actions

SNA is isolated from the inner bark (bast tissue) of elder stems and branches. The lectin is not blood group specific but has an affinity for α-NeuNAc-[2→6]-Gal, α-NeuNAc-[2→6]-GalNAc, and, to a lesser extent, α-NeuNAc-[2→3]-Gal residues.

Packaging

Package size based on protein content

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing NaCl

Preparation Note

Affinity purified by a modification of Broekaert.

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.3, of a 1 mg/ml solution. The activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group A erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.

A lectin was isolated from elder (Sambucus nigra) bark by affinity chromatography on fetuin-agarose. It is a tetrameric molecule (Mr 140000) composed of two different subunits of Mr 34500 and 37500 respectively, held together by intramolecular disulphide bridges. The lectin

Atopy is closely associated with the cellular T helper type-2 (Th2) phenotype, that is dominated by the pleiotrophic cytokine IL-4. The cellular source of IL-4 has yet to be determined, although basophils have been proposed. Eosinophils and mast cells are
