Glycophorin A (GYPA) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: M2A1]

CAT#: TA386111

Recombinant Anti-Glycophorin A M antigen (Clone M2A1)

Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: M2A1
• Applications: ELISA, Inhib
• Reactivities: Human
• Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: IgG, kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: M2A1 was prepared by immunzing BALB/c mice with human red blood cells of the M phenotype, and was screened by testing for anti-M activity.
• 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.
  
  M2A1 can bind to M antigen of glycophorin A and can be used in ELISAs, immunoblots and modified M glycoprotein can be used for inhibition tests.
