Application

Glycophorin is the major sialylated protein of the erythrocyte membrane. Product A9791 is asialoglycophorin from human blood type MN. Glycophorin has been inserted into target cells, by electropulsation, to study resistance to natural killer cells .

Biochem/physiol Actions

M and N active glycopeptides have identical amino acid sequences, except at residues 1 and 5, and glycosylated residues 2 to 4, which contain approximately 5 sialic acid groups. The removal of sialic acid from glycophorin destroys M and N activity. Glycophorin A may be involved in the resistance of target cells to natural killing.

Other Notes

Predominantly asialoglycophorin A

Glycophorin A is a protein with an abundant glycosylation (60% carbohydrate by weight), and studies have suggested that resistance of target cells to natural killing may be correlated with the level of glycophorin A expression. To assess the role of
