The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD235a/GYPA antibody has been validated for FACS, IHC (p) and IHC (fro). It is suitable to detect CD235a/GYPA in samples from Human and Rat.
The mouse monoclonal antibody JC159 recognizes an epitope between amino acids 27 and 40 of the extracellular portion of CD235a (glycophorin A), a sialoglycoprotein expressed on early erythroblasts, late erythroblasts, erythroblasts, mature erythrocytes and the cells of erythroid cell lines K562 and HEL. The antibody does not react with glycophorin B.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with biotin LC-NHS ester under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free biotin are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Background
Glycophorin A (MNS blood group),CD235a (glycophorin A, GPA) is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein expressed on erythrocytes and their precursors. Similarly to CD235b (glycophorin B, GPB), these molecules provide the cells with a large mucin-like surface, which minimalizes aggregation between erythrocytes in the circulation. GPA is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities, while GPB accounts for S, s and U specificities. CD235a is a receptor of Hsa, a Streptococcus adhesin.,Glycophorin A, GYPA, GPA, PAS-2, Sialoglycoprotein alpha, MN sialoglycoprotein, GPSAT, GPErik, MSN blood group
