GSL II is a lectin derived from Griffonia simplicifolia, conjugated to fluorescein for green-channel fluorescence detection of N-acetylglucosamine and /-linked mannose residues. It is used in glycan profiling, cell labeling, and histochemistry to study glycoprotein expression and carbohydrate-mediated cell interactions. The FITC tag enables sensitive visualization in microscopy and flow cytometry.
Why Researchers Choose It
- Binds N-acetylglucosamine and /-linked mannose residues
- FITC tag enables green-channel fluorescence detection
- Used in glycan profiling, cell labeling, and histochemistry
- Supports microscopy and flow cytometry workflows
