Clone Number: 3-3A
Immunogen: mixture of erythrocytes of blood group A1 and a glycoprotein fraction isolated from the salvia of secretors with blood group A of human origin
Concentration: 100 ug/ml
Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide
Additional info: 3-3A reacts with determinants of chain A type 3 and 4 and chain H type 3 and 4, but not with type 1 and 2 chain structures. It is not reactive with immunodominant A trisaccharide. Increased expression of this antigen has been observed on some tumor tissues such as gastric carcinomas, urothelial carcinomas, and colon carcinomas. 3-3A does not react with normal tissue sections of donors with blood group B and 0 but it reacts specifically with malignant tissues in these individuals.
