Dylight 488 can be used to visualize the binding pattern of Vicia villosa Lectin (VVL/VVA) in cellular imaging and flow cytometry. DyLight 488 is a green-fluorescent dye that works over a broad pH range (pH 4-9). It is brighter and more photostable than many other green-fluorescent dyes, including FITC.||Carbohydrate Specificity:|N-Acetylgalactosamine||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|N-Acetylgalactosamine||Fluorescence:|Green||Divalent Ions:|Ca++, Mn++||Excitation:|493nm||Emission:|518nm||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C.
