Thermo Fisher, L32476, Ulex Europaeus (Gorse) Agglutinin I (UEA I), fluorescein (FITC)

Ulex Europaeus (Gorse) Agglutinin I (UEA I), fluorescein (FITC) Ulex Europaeus Agglutinin I (UEA I), fluorescein (FITC), is a bright-green UEA I-fluorophor conjugate. UEA I interacts specifically with blood group H type 2 antigen, which is expressed in individuals with type O blood and to a lesser degree in individuals with type A or B blood. UEA I has been used to differentiate between angiosarcomas and epithelial tumors. However, blood group antigens are found in a variety of tissues, so better results may be obtained with the use of specific monoclonal antibodies. UEA I is also a marker for incompletely differentiated gastrin cells.
