This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This ABO antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 41-68 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human ABO.
This gene encodes proteins related to the first discovered blood group system, ABO. Which allele is present in an individual determines the blood group. The 'O' blood group is caused by a deletion of guanine-258 near the N-terminus of the protein which results in a frameshift and translation of an almost entirely different protein. Individuals with the A, B, and AB alleles express glycosyltransferase activities that convert the H antigen into the A or B antigen. Other minor alleles have been found for this gene.
