Analysis Note
Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/mL and is determined from serial dilutions of a 1 mg/mL solution. This activity is the
lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, after 1 hr
incubation at 25 °C.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PHA consists of two molecular species, an erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) which has low mitogenic activity and high erythroagglutinin
activity, and leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) which has high mitogenic and leucoagglutinating activity, but very low erythroagglutinating activity.
PHA-E is not blood group specific, but agglutination can be inhibited by certain oligosaccharides. PHA-P is the protein form of PHA prior
to separation and purification of erythroagglutinin and leucoagglutinin. PHA-M is the mucoprotein form. Conjugates are prepared from the
corresponding purified lectins.
