Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555  (Synonyms: WGA-AF555)

Cat. No.: HY-NP163C Purity: 0.00%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 (WGA-AF555) is a membrane-staining lectin conjugate that combines wheat germ agglutinin with the Alexa Fluor 555 fluorescent dye. Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 is used for precise staining and contour delineation of cell membranes. Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 also effectively distinguishes between surface vimentin and intracellular vimentin in cells.

Description

Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 (WGA-AF555) is a membrane-staining lectin conjugate that combines wheat germ agglutinin with the Alexa Fluor 555 fluorescent dye. Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 is used for precise staining and contour delineation of cell membranes. Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 also effectively distinguishes between surface vimentin and intracellular vimentin in cells[1][2].

In Vitro

Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 (1:500 dilution; 1 hour) labels the surface of Caco-2 cells, enabling visualization of cell membrane structure via confocal microscopy[1].
Wheat germ agglutinin-AF555 (500 ng/mL; 30 min) labels the plasma membrane of fixed mammalian cells at a concentration of 500 ng/mL following a 30-minute room temperature incubation in the dark[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: Caco-2 cells
Concentration: 1:500 dilution
Incubation Time: 1 hour (room temperature)
Result: Stained the surface of Caco-2 cells, appearing as red fluorescence that outlined the cell membranes, allowing visualization of cell surface morphology alongside nuclear staining (DAPI, blue) and vimentin staining (Alexafluor-647, green).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
