Clone Number: EBS-CD-060
Immunogen: human erythrocytes, treated with neuraminidase (V.cholerae)
Concentration: 100 ug/ml
Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide
Additional info: EBS-CD-060 reacts with a peptide epitope on the extracellular domain of human Glycophorin A, a 39 kDa sialoglycoprotein, present on red cells and erythroid precursor cells. Glycophorin A is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities, while Glycophorin B carries S and U specificities. Providing a mucin like coat, Glycophorin may play a role in preventing red cell aggregation in the circulation. Glycophorin also acts as receptors for Sendai and Parvovirus
