| Product Name | Glycophorin A antibody |

| Antibody Type | Primary Antibodies |
| Product description | Mouse monoclonal [HIR2] to Glycophorin AGlycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB) which are single pass membrane sialoglycoproteins. GPA is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities, while GPB accounts for S and U specificities. GPA and GPB provide the cells with a large mucin like surface and it has been suggested this provides a barrier to cell fusion, so minimizing aggregation between red blood cells in the circulation. |
| Immunogen | Synthetic peptide (Human) (N terminal). |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
|---|---|
| Isotype | IgG2 |
| Clone Number | HIR2 |
| Host Species | Mouse |
| Tested Applications | FACSIHC-F |
| FACS: Tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood leukocytes and cell agglutination assay. Can be used at approximately 0.1 mg per million cells. IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Agglutination studies: The antibody agglutinates untreated RBCs but it fails to agglutinate papain-treated cells. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.: |

| Target | Glycophorin A |
| Tissue Specificity | The antibody recognizes N-terminal, homologous portion of glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB), (strongly to GPA, and weakly to GPB). The antibody is useful in erythroid cell development studies, because HIR2 antigen is expressed on early erythroblasts, late erythroblasts, erythroblasts, mature erythrocytes and the cells of erythroid cell lines K562 and HEL, but not on all other cells (mature erythrocytes are characteristically CD235a positive and CD45 and CD71 negative). |
