FITC-LEL - Introduction
FITC-LEL(FITC-LEL) is a fluorescent labeled tomato lectin. Tomato lectin is a naturally occurring protein in tomato, which has the ability to bind to polysaccharides. Because of its specificity and high affinity, FITC-LEL is widely used to study the distribution and expression of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides on the cell surface.
The preparation method of FITC-LEL is generally to react FITC (fluorescent dye) with tomato lectin to form fluorescent labeled FITC-LEL. The use of FITC labeling allows the FITC-LEL to be observed and detected under a fluorescence microscope.
FITC-LEL can be used for cell infiltration, cell aggregation, cell differentiation and glucose detection. It can be used for the identification, analysis and quantification of cell surface sugar clusters, which is helpful to understand the expression of sugar clusters, the distribution of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, and the function of cell sugar clusters. In addition, FITC-LEL can also be used to study tumor cells, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and immune cells.
Regarding safety information, in general, the use of FITC-LEL is subject to laboratory safety practices. Although tomato lectin is a natural protein, it should be handled with care to avoid direct contact with the skin or eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as laboratory gloves, goggles, etc. At the same time, the FITC-LEL should be kept under appropriate storage and use conditions and comply with relevant waste disposal regulations. In laboratory operations, the relevant safety guidelines should be followed to avoid any unsafe use or release of substances. If you have any safety issues, please consult a laboratory safety expert or relevant organization.
