Affinity purified Vicia villosa lectin or agglutinin (VVL/VVA) is a tetramer composed of four subunits. VVL consists of A and B subunits, with a dominant isolectin that appears to be B subunit-rich. A4 isolectin agglutinates specifically A1 erythrocytes. B4 isolectin does not agglutinate A, B, or O-erythrocyteshowever, B4 binds the Tn antigen, a molecule expressed on the surface of most tumor cells. A2B2 and similar tetramer isolectins display properties characteristic of both A4 and B4 isolections.||Source:|Hairy vetch||Blood Specificity:|Tn Antigen||Sugar Specificity:|N-Acetylgalactosamine||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|N-Acetylgalactosamine||Divalent Ions:|Ca++, Mn++||Storage and Stability:|Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
