CD235a/GYPA antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN6184701

Product Details anti-CD235a/GYPA Antibody (Biotin)

Target: CD235a/GYPA (GYPA) (Glycophorin A (GYPA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD235a/GYPA antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Glycophorin-A / CD235a (GYPA/280), Biotin Conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a sialoglycoprotein of 39 kDa, identified as glycophorin A (GPA). It is present on red blood cells (RBC) and erythroid precursor cells. It has been shown that glycophorin acts as the receptor for Sandei virus and parvovirus. Glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB), which are single, trans-membrane sialoglycoproteins. GPA is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities, while GPB accounts for S and U specificities. GPA and GPB provide the cells with a large mucin like surface and it has been suggested this provides a barrier to cell fusion, so minimizing aggregation between red blood cells in the circulation. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Recombinant human glycophorin A protein
