The unique saccharide-binding properties of plant lectins, such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), have made them useful for the study of glycosylated proteins. Lectins have been used in cell adhesion studies, to effect lymphocyte activation, and to explore carbohydrate-based therapeutics.

Our WGA-coated BioMag®Plus microparticles provide a convenient means for isolating N-acetylglucosamine-containing glycoproteins from cell lysate or to explore other lectin/glycan-mediated processes. The BioMag®Plus magnetic particle format provides high surface area, and permits easy and efficient separations.
