Blood Group Antigen A antibody targets ABO Antigen A, a carbohydrate-based blood group determinant that is part of the ABO blood group system. ABO Antigen A is expressed on the surface of erythrocytes as well as on epithelial and endothelial cells in a variety of tissues, where it contributes to blood group specificity and histo-blood group antigen expression. This antigen is generated through glycosylation of precursor chains, resulting in a terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue that defines the A blood group phenotype.
Functionally, ABO Antigen A serves as a clinically important marker in transfusion medicine, transplantation biology, and tissue typing. A short functional summary is that Blood Group Antigen A defines blood group A status and contributes to antigenic diversity on cell surfaces through regulated carbohydrate modification. Because of its stable and well-characterized expression pattern, Blood Group Antigen A antibody reagents are widely used to detect and visualize A antigen distribution in tissues and cell populations.
At the molecular level, ABO Antigen A is not a protein but a carbohydrate epitope displayed on glycoproteins and glycolipids. Its expression depends on the activity of specific glycosyltransferases encoded by the ABO gene locus. Blood Group Antigen A antibody tools are therefore valuable for studying glycosylation patterns, cell surface antigen expression, and histo-blood group related biology in both normal and pathological tissues.
From a biological and disease relevance perspective, ABO Antigen A expression has been examined in cancer pathology, vascular biology, and developmental studies. Altered or aberrant expression of ABO blood group antigens has been reported in certain malignancies and disease states, where changes in glycosylation may reflect cellular transformation or altered differentiation. Clone 33C13 is designed to recognize ABO Antigen A and is widely used in research and histological applications to support consistent detection of this blood group determinant.
Developmentally, ABO Antigen A expression varies by tissue type and differentiation state, with stable expression on erythroid cells and more variable expression in epithelial tissues. Clone 33C13 provides a reliable reagent for detecting ABO Antigen A in studies of tissue pathology, blood group antigen distribution, and carbohydrate antigen biology. Blood Group Antigen A antibodies from NSJ Bioreagents are supplied for research use to support investigations in pathology and cell surface glycosylation.
Optimal dilution of the Blood Group Antigen A antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Mucin isolated from an ovarian cyst fluid was used as the immunogen for the Blood Group Antigen A antibody.
Store the Blood Group Antigen A antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
