Amerigo Scientific, a life science supplier focused on providing critical products and services to biomedical and pharmaceutical communities, announced its expanded lectin products designed to accelerate studies of cellular recognition, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic development. The portfolio includes both conjugated (fluorescent, biotinylated) and unconjugated lectins, providing researchers with unparalleled flexibility for diverse experimental needs in physiological and pathological processes.

Lectins—natural proteins or glycoproteins that bind specific carbohydrate structures—serve as critical probes for decoding cellular communication, pathogen-host interactions, and disease biomarkers. Amerigo Scientific’s lectins are sourced from plants, fungi, and legumes, each rigorously validated for specificity and activity. Key applications include:

l  Cell surface mapping: Visualize glycoconjugates in cancer, immune, and stem cells.

l  Pathogen detection: Identify microbial surface glycans for infectious disease research.

l  Drug delivery systems: Leverage lectin-carbohydrate interactions for targeted therapies.

Product Highlights: Conjugated vs. Unconjugated Formats

Driving Innovations in Disease Research

Amerigo Scientific’s lectins enable cutting-edge investigations into pathological mechanisms:

l  Liver Diseases: Conjugated lectins detect aberrant glycosylation in cholestasis and hepatitis, complementing bilirubin metabolism studies

l  Oncology: Fungal lectins (e.g., Ganoderma lucidum) demonstrate tumor-selective cytotoxicity by inducing cancer cell apoptosis.

l  Immunotherapy: Lectins like Agaricus bisporus enhance dendritic cell maturation, supporting vaccine development.

“Our lectins are lyophilized or liquid formats with detailed storage protocols to ensure stability and quality,” said the business development manager at Amerigo Scientific. “By offering conjugated and unconjugated lectins, we empower researchers to dissect carbohydrate-driven processes in cancer, infection, and genetic disorders—with speed and reproducibility.”
