Invitrogen™ CD235a (Glycophorin A) Recombinant Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (M2A1)

Mouse Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA548072

Catalog No. PIMA548072

Description

Specificity: M2A1 binds specifically to the M antigen on human erythrocytes, and shows no reactivity to N antigen. The epitope for this antibody includes the amino-terminal serine residue and sialic acid residues of glycophorin A. The reactivity of M2A1 for M antigen is pH- and salt-dependent (optimum ~ pH8-9). Blood group antigen M is located on the major sialoglycoprotein (glycophorin A) of red blood cells.

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.
