Description

Blood Group A-Active Hexaglycosylceramide Type 1 Chain CAS NO 87501-61-9 is a highly defined, synthetic glycosphingolipid antigen crucial for immunological and biochemical research. This compound serves as a critical standard and reagent for studying blood group antigen specificity, cell surface recognition, and carbohydrate-mediated biological interactions. It is essential for researchers and developers in the fields of immunology, glycobiology, diagnostics, and vaccine development who require precise and well-characterized antigens.

Application

• Immunological Research: As a defined antigen for studying antibody-antigen interactions, immune cell recognition, and the molecular basis of blood group specificity.
• Diagnostic Development: Used as a coating antigen or standard in the development and calibration of immunoassays, lateral flow tests, and biosensors for blood typing and related disorders.
• Glycobiology Studies: A key tool for investigating the role of specific glycosphingolipids in cell signaling, adhesion, pathogen binding, and cancer biomarker research.
• Vaccine & Therapeutic Research: Employed in the design and evaluation of carbohydrate-based vaccines, targeted therapies, and studies on immune tolerance.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Serves as a primary reference standard for quality assurance in the production of diagnostic reagents and research kits.
• Biochemical Reagent: Used in enzymatic studies, lipid raft research, and as a substrate for glycosyltransferases or other modifying enzymes.
