Quick Overview for ABO (Blood Group Antigen B) antibody (ABIN3026165)

Target: ABO (Blood Group Antigen B)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Clone: HEB-20

Product Details

Purpose: ABO Antibody (Blood Group Antigen B)

Purification: Protein G affinity

Immunogen: A mixture of erythrocytes of group B and glycoprotein fraction isolated from saliva of secretors with blood group B was used as the immunogen for the ABO antibody.

Isotype: IgG1, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal dilution of the ABO antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details

Target: ABO (Blood Group Antigen B)

Background: The antibody HEB-20 reacts with human blood group B. The specificity of the antibody HEB-20 was confirmed by comparison of specificity and reactivity to standard reagent using >5.000 samples of blood. The mAb HEB-20 shows specific staining of erythrocytes and vascular epithelium of blood group B controls and no staining in group A controls. This mAb is applicable for tissue staining in tumor patients with blood groups B and AB. Blood group antigens are generally defined as molecules formed by sequential addition of saccharides to the carbohydrate side chains of lipids and proteins detected on erythrocytes and certain epithelial cells. The A, B and H antigens are reported to undergo modulation during malignant cellular transformation. Blood group related antigens represent a group of carbohydrate determinants carried on both glycolipids and glycoproteins. They are usually mucin type, and are detected on erythrocytes, certain epithelial cells, and in secretions of certain individuals. Sixteen genetically and biosynthetically distinct but inter related specificities belong to this group of antigens, including A, B, H, Lewis A, Lewis B, Lewis X, Lewis Y, and precursor type 1 chain antigens.
