Immunogen Human Glycophorin A transmembrane protein
Donor: Rabbit serum
Specificity Anti-human Glycophorin A (GpA) Polyclonal Antibody targets the human Glycophorin A protein. This FITC conjugated polyclonal antibody recognizes various epitopes on the GpA protein.
The 23 residue hydrophobic transmembrane domain has been shown to mediate non-covalent dimerization of the protein under conditions of SDS page (and in other detergents). We also sell an ascites purified version of this antibody (AP31671PU-N).
Formulation PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide (NaN3) as preservative and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml.
Label: FITC
State: Liquid purified Ig fraction
Label: Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer 1
Concentration lot specific
Purification Affinity chromatography on Protein G
Conjugation FITC
Storage Condition Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name glycophorin A (MNS blood group)
Background This 131 amino acid, 36 KDa, transmembrane sialoglycoprotein spans the membrane of erythrocytes once. GpA presents its N terminus at the extracellular surface of the human red blood cell, has a single transmembrane domain and an internal cytoplasmic C terminus. GpA contributes to the expression of blood group antigen M and N specificities, which work to prevent red blood cell aggregation in circulation.
Studies show that GpA is expressed early on the cell surface during erythropoiesis as pluripotent stem cells are recruited to differentiate into erythrocytes. This makes GpA a useful marker for studying the developmental biology of hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Synonyms Glycophorin-A, GPA, PAS-2, Sialoglycoprotein alpha, MN sialoglycoprotein
Note Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS:
Method:
1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A and wash twice.
2. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50μl of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 10e6 cells, representing 1 test).
3. To each tube, add 0.2 μg of this antibody per 10e6 cells.
4. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells.
5. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C.
(It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive.)
6. Wash 2 times at 4°C.
7. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 μl ice cold media B.
8. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 μl of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA.
Media:
A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide (100 μl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 μl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
Results:
