Erythrina cristagalli (coral tree) lectin is a 54,000 dalton glycoprotein consisting of two different subunits of approximately 28,000 and 26,000 daltons. It has a specificity toward galactose residues and appears to have the highest binding activity toward galactosyl (b -1,4) N-acetylglucosamine.
Erythrina Cristagalli Lectin (ECL) isolated from Erythrina cristagalli (coral tree) seeds coupled with Separopore® 4B-CL is prepared with affinity-purified lectin. The heat stable, cross-linked 4% agarose beads with a molecular weight exclusion limit of about 2x107 are used as the solid-phase matrix to which the lectin is covalently bound. The attachment of the lectin to the solid phase is carefully controlled in order to preserve the activity of the lectin as well as to minimize conformational changes of the bound lectin.
