  • Anti-Glycophorin a Antibody (Biotin) Product Number: AC12-0684-07
    Anti-Glycophorin A Antibody (Biotin) Product Number: AC12-0684-07 Overview Host Species: Rabbit Clonality: Monoclonal (GYPA/1725R) Purity: Antibody is purified by Protein A. The antibody is then conjugated to biotin, also known as vitamin B7, vitamin H, or coenzyme R, which is a small molecule which has an extremely high affinity for avidin and streptavidin. Isotype: IgG Conjugate: Biotin Immunogen Type: Anti-glycophorin a antibody was raised against recombinant full-length human glycophorin A protein. Physical Characteristics Amount: 0.05 mg Concentration: 1 mg/ml Volume: 0.05 ml Buffer: Antibody is purified by Protein A. Prepared in 10mM PBS at 1.0mg/ml. Storage: Biotin conjugated antibody can be stored at 4?C for up to 18 months. For longer storage the conjugate can be stored at -20?C after adding 50% glycerol. Specificity Species Reactivity: Human Specificity: Recognizes a sialoglycoprotein of 39kDa, 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.

  • A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins
    membranes Review A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins Takahiko Aoki Laboratory of Quality in Marine Products, Graduate School of Bioresources, Mie University, 1577 Kurima Machiya-cho, Mie, Tsu 514-8507, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-59-231-9569; Fax: +81-59-231-9557 Received: 18 August 2017; Accepted: 24 September 2017; Published: 29 September 2017 Abstract: Human red blood cells (RBC), which are the cells most commonly used in the study of biological membranes, have some glycoproteins in their cell membrane. These membrane proteins are band 3 and glycophorins A–D, and some substoichiometric glycoproteins (e.g., CD44, CD47, Lu, Kell, Duffy). The oligosaccharide that band 3 contains has one N-linked oligosaccharide, and glycophorins possess mostly O-linked oligosaccharides. The end of the O-linked oligosaccharide is linked to sialic acid. In humans, this sialic acid is N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc). Another sialic acid, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) is present in red blood cells of non-human origin. While the biological function of band 3 is well known as an anion exchanger, it has been suggested that the oligosaccharide of band 3 does not affect the anion transport function. Although band 3 has been studied in detail, the physiological functions of glycophorins remain unclear. This review mainly describes the sialo-oligosaccharide structures of band 3 and glycophorins, followed by a discussion of the physiological functions that have been reported in the literature to date. Moreover, other glycoproteins in red blood cell membranes of non-human origin are described, and the physiological function of glycophorin in carp red blood cell membranes is discussed with respect to its bacteriostatic activity.

  • Platelet Proteome Reveals Specific Proteins Associated with Platelet Activation and the Hypercoagulable State in Β-Thalassmia/H
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Platelet proteome reveals specifc proteins associated with platelet activation and the hypercoagulable Received: 24 October 2018 Accepted: 29 March 2019 state in β-thalassmia/HbE patients Published: xx xx xxxx Puangpaka Chanpeng1, Saovaros Svasti2, Kittiphong Paiboonsukwong2, Duncan R. Smith 3 & Kamonlak Leecharoenkiat1 A hypercoagulable state leading to a high risk of a thrombotic event is one of the most common complications observed in β-thalassemia/HbE disease, particularly in patients who have undergone a splenectomy. However, the hypercoagulable state, as well as the molecular mechanism of this aspect of the pathogenesis of β-thalassemia/HbE, remains poorly understood. To address this issue, ffteen non-splenectomized β-thalassemia/HbE patients, 8 splenectomized β-thalassemia/HbE patients and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited to this study. Platelet activation and hypercoagulable parameters including levels of CD62P and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 were analyzed by fow cytometry and ELISA, respectively. A proteomic analysis was conducted to compare the platelet proteome between patients and normal subjects, and the results were validated by western blot analysis. The β-thalassemia/ HbE patients showed signifcantly higher levels of CD62P and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 than normal subjects. The levels of platelet activation and hypercoagulation found in patients were strongly associated with splenectomy status. The platelet proteome analysis revealed 19 diferential spots which were identifed to be 19 platelet proteins, which included 10 cytoskeleton proteins, thrombin generation related proteins, and antioxidant enzymes. Our fndings highlight markers of coagulation activation and molecular pathways known to be associated with the pathogenesis of platelet activation, the hypercoagulable state, and consequently with the thrombosis observed in β-thalassemia/HbE patients.

In this Appendix, a short introduction describes the history and the use of CD nomenclature and provides a few key references to enable access to the wider literature. This is followed by a table that lists all human molecules with approved CD names, tabulating alternative names, key structural features, cellular expression, major known functions, and usefulness of the molecules or antibodies against them in research or clinical applications.

Keywords: CD nomenclature r HLDA r HCDM r leukocyte marker r human leukocyte differentiation r antigens INTRODUCTION During the last 25 years, large numbers of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been pro- duced that have facilitated the purification and functional characterization of a plethora of leukocyte surface molecules. The antibodies have been even more useful as markers for cell populations, allowing the counting, separation, and functional study of numer- ous subsets of cells of the immune system. A series of international workshops were instrumental in coordinating this development through multi-laboratory “blind” studies of thousands of antibodies. These HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) Workshops have, up until now, defined 500 different entities and assigned them cluster of differentiation (CD) designations.

These cells include lymphocytes, granulocytes, and macrophages of the immune system as well as circulating erythrocytes and platelets. Classically, HSCs are thought to differentiate into two lineage-restricted, lymphoid and myelo-erythroid, oligopotent progenitor cells. An alternative, “myeloid-based” model for blood lineage development from HSCs describes a novel intermediary, a common myelo-lymphoid progenitor cell, which has the capacity to generate progeny from both lineages. The mechanisms controlling HSC homing to the bone marrow, self-renewal, and differentiation are thought to be influenced by a diverse set of cytokines, chemokines, receptors, and intracellular signaling molecules.
