Clone Number: 19-OLE
Immunogen: mucin isolated from a mucinous colonic adenocarcinoma
Concentration: 100 ug/ml
Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide
Additional info: 19-OLE reacts with H type 2 antigen, the basis of the ABO blood group system, involving three carbohydrate antigens: A, B, and H. A, B, and AB individuals express a glycosyltransferase activity that converts the H antigen to the A antigen (by addition of UDP-GalNAc) or to the B antigen (by addition of UDP-Gal), whereas O individuals lack such activity. It is expressed on endothelial cells, epithelial cells and granulocytes. Increased expression of this antigen has been observed on some tumor tissues such as gastric carcinomas, urothelial carcinomas, and colon carcinomas.
