Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of immunodiagnosis, and in particular relates to concanavalin A nanomagnetic beads and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Concanavalin A (ConA) is a carbohydrate-binding protein, also known as concanavalin A, concanavalin A, concanavalin A, and concanavalin A. ConA is a tetrameric globulin with a molecular weight of 102,000. Each subunit contains 237 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 25,500. It binds to a Ca 2+ and a Mn 2+ , containing a sugar binding site. 2+ and Mn 2+ When present, ConA can bind to α-D-glucose or α-D-mannose in glycoproteins, glycolipids, and polysaccharides.
[0003] ConA is the first commercial lectin and is widely used in biochemistry to identify glycoproteins or other sugar-containing molecules. ConA is used in lectin affinity chromatography to purify biomacromolecules. ConA interacts with receptors for various mannose carbohydrates (serum and membrane glycoproteins). ConA causes strong agglutination of erythrocytes, is not blood type specific, and normal cells will reagglutinate after trypsin digestion. ConA is a mitogen for lymphocytes, mainly used to induce mitotic activity of T lymphocytes and increase the synthesis of cellular metabolites. ConA interacts with many bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Dictyostelium and Bacillus subtilis. ConA is generally believed to be involved in the interaction between α-mannose oligosaccharides on the surface of HIV virus and human T lymphocytes.
