CD173 (H type 2 Antigen) (clone BRIC 198) FITC, anti-human

Decription:
Mouse monoclonal antibody to human H type 2 Antigen FITC conjugate. H antigens are carried on the non-reducing termini of the carbohydrates of glycoproteins and glycolipids. The H determinant structure is Fuc(a1-2) Gal(beta1)-R. Type 1 and type 2 H (CD 173) are deter­mined by the subterminal (peripheral core) carbohydrate sequence. In H type 1 it is Fuc (a1-2) Gal(beta1-3) GlcNAc, in H type 2 it is Fuc(a1-2) Gal(beta1-4) GlcNAc. H is the precursor of the A and B histo-blood group antigens, which are formed by the addition of GalNAc(a1-3) or Gal(a1-3) respectively, to the galactose of H. In man, H active substances are found on the erythrocytes, cells and tissues, and in the body fluids, linked to lipids (glycos­phingolipids) or to proteins (glycoproteins). In various animals, H antigens occur in the cells and tissues, but not generally on erythrocytes. The synthesis of H type 1 and H type 2 in man in different tissues is controlled by either of the two linked genes Se and H, which code for 2-fucosyl transferases.
