Abstract: | A procedure is described for coupling wheat germ agglutinin to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose to yield a lectin affinity column of high capacity. Covalent linkage of the lectin to the insoluble matrix is carried out in the presence of a mixture of β-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine oligosaccharides prepared from chitin. The lectin-affinity column specifically recognizes glycoproteins containing N-acetylglucosamine residues with the capacity of binding 0.6–1.0 mg of ovomucoid per milliliter of gel. The affinity column is stable (as determined by ovomucoid binding) and shows little loss in binding capacity or specificity after repeated usage. Important characteristics for the use of this column to purify glycoproteins are described. |
