Produktinformation

• Name: Lacto-N-tetraose-BSA
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Lacto-N-tetraose-BSA is a carbohydrate that contains four monosaccharides. It has been shown to be an autoantibody in patients with myasthenia gravis and can cause muscle weakness by binding to the muscle protein, actin. Lacto-N-tetraose-BSA has also been found to bind with nerve tissue and may be involved in the development of sclerosis. This carbohydrate is also negatively charged and agglutinates red blood cells. When used for immunofluorescence, it shows a strong reaction against glycoconjugates on the surface of neurons and nerve tissue. Lacto-N-tetraose-BSA binds specifically to bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing antibodies, which are produced by immune cells called B cells. The binding sites are located on the outer part of the molecule, near the sugar residues.
