MAA/MAL II
Maackia amurensis Lectin (MAA/MAL II) is affinty puried hemagglutinating lectin and can be used to detect O-linked glycans containing the trisaccharide Siaalpha2-3Galbeta1-3GalNAc. This lectin does not agglutinate one blood type more than another and agglutination can be inhibited by lactose at high concentrations. Although MAA I and MAA II are similar in size and structure, this lectin exhibits more hemagglutinating ability than MAA I.
