Some lectin trigger mitogenic activities in differentiated or resting cells. These lectins do not cause toxicity. A right concentration of affinity purified Phytolacca americana (Pokeweed) Lectin (PWM/PWA) is provided in a sterile solution for stimulating cells that respond to the lectin.||Source:|Pokeweed||Blood Specificity:|Neuraminidase: Non-specific||Conjugate Specificity:|GlcNAc (beta1,4) GlcNAc oligomers [Gal-(beta1,4) GlcNAc]2||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|Oligomers of beta(1,4)-linked N-Acetylglucosamine||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
