The mouse monoclonal antibody JC159 recognizes an epitope between amino acids 27 and 40 of the extracellular portion of CD235a (glycophorin A), a sialoglycoprotein expressed on early erythroblasts, late erythroblasts, erythroblasts, mature erythrocytes and the cells of erythroid cell lines K562 and HEL. The antibody does not react with glycophorin B.

Glycophorin A (MNS blood group),CD235a (glycophorin A, GPA) is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein expressed on erythrocytes and their precursors. Similarly to CD235b (glycophorin B, GPB), these molecules provide the cells with a large mucin-like surface, which minimalizes aggregation between erythrocytes in the circulation. GPA is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities, while GPB accounts for S, s and U specificities. CD235a is a receptor of Hsa, a Streptococcus adhesin.,Glycophorin A, GYPA, GPA, PAS-2, Sialoglycoprotein alpha, MN sialoglycoprotein, GPSAT, GPErik, MSN blood group
