Revision09-June-2008 RFH
DescriptionConcanavalin A (Con A), a lectin derived from the jack bean, has been used in a column format for the separation and purification of glycoproteins and carbohydrates based on the affinity of terminal mannose and glucose groups for Con A.2 Using a unique and proprietary surface chemistry procedure, our Con A plates (96 well) or strips (12 strips of 8 wells in a 96-well configuration) have the lectin covalently attached to the well surfaces. The physical and optical properties of the plate are unaffected by the coupling chemistry. The Con A plates and strips exhibit high affinity for terminal mannose and glucose groups and can be used to immobilize glycoproteins or carbohydrates containing these groups. The immobilized material can then be assayed with a standard ELISA system using tagged antibodies to the immobilized species.
The plates or strips are available in clear or opaque white polystyrene. The opaque white polystyrene plates or
strips can be used in fluorescent or chemiluminescent detection systems.
Con A plates can also be used as a substrate for cell growth because of the affinity of the cell surface carbohydrate groups for Con A. It is possible to do cell panning, selecting those cells containing terminal mannose or glucose groups for immobilization; however, please note that these plates are not sterile. To use them for cell growth studies, it may be necessary to sterilize them. They can be safely sterilized either by ethanol or irradiation.

Recommended reaction conditionsSuggested Protocol 1. Rehydrate the plate or strips by filling each well with buffer at neutral pH and allow to sit for 10 min. Rinse twice with buffer. 2. Fill the wells with the glycoprotein or carbohydrate in an appropriate buffer at a concentration of 1-3. µg/ml at neutral pH. The buffer should contain 1 mM Ca2+ and 1 mM Mn2+. 3. Allow binding to proceed for 2 h at 37°C. 4. Wash 3 times with buffer to remove unbound material and extra ions. 5. To use in an immunoassay, add a tagged antibody at 1-3 µg/ml in buffer and allow to react for 2 h or less at 37°C. The time depends on the speed of the antibody-antigen reaction. Typically, either horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase is used as tags. 6. Develop color using the appropriate substrate. For a usual assay, color development with alkaline phosphatase takes about an hour and horseradish peroxidase takes about 15 min.
