Key Features and Details
Phytohemagglutinin
| SKU | 02151884-CF |
| Alternate Names | PHA |
| Application Notes | In medicine PHA proteins are useful and are used as a mitogen to trigger T-lymphocytes cell division and to activate latent HIV-1 from human peripheral lymphocytes.The lectin has a number of effects on cell metabolism; it induces mitosis, and affects the cell membrane in regard to transport and permeability to proteins. It is used as positive control in ELIspot assay. |
| Base Catalog Number | 151884 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | PHA consists of two molecular species, an erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) which has low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinin activity, and leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) which has high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, but very low erythroagglutinating activity. PHA-E is not blood group specific, but agglutination can be inhibited by certain oligosaccharides. PHA-P is the protein form of PHA prior to separation and purification of erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin. PHA-M is the mucoprotein form. Conjugates are prepared from the corresponding purified lectins. |
