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.
CF® dyes are Biotium's next-generation fluorescent dyes. CF®680 is a near-infrared fluorescent dye (Ex/Em 681/698 nm). It yields the brightest conjugates among spectrally similar dyes, and is validated in super-resolution imaging by STORM.
