CD235a (Glycophorin A) Monoclonal Antibody (HIR2 (GA-R2)), FITC, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beschreibung

Description: The HIR2 monoclonal antibody reacts with human glycophorin A, sialoglycoproteins expressed by erythroid precursors and mature circulating red cells. Applications Reported: The HIR2 (also GA-R2) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: The HIR2 (also GA-R2) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. Binding of this antibody to red cells at high antibody concentration causes cell agglutination. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.03 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 520 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

CD235a (Glycophorins A, GPA) is a single pass membrane sialoglycoprotein expressed in mature erythrocytes and erythroid precursor cells. CD235a is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities. CD235a provides cells with a large mucin-like that may serve as a barrier to cell fusion, minimizing aggregation between red blood cells in the circulation. CD235a has been shown to act as a receptor for Sandei virus, parvovirus, and Hsa, an Streptococcus adhesin.
