Abstract excerpt
Glycophorin C (GPC) and glycophorin D (GPD) are closely related sialoglycoproteins in the human red blood cell (RBC) membrane. Both are thought to be encoded by the GPC gene (GYPC). We report here the new GPC variant, MAT, with a high-molecular-weight form of GPC and GPD. The murine monoclonal antibody to GPC (CBC-96), which had specificity for the N-terminal region of GPC, gave a stronger reactivity with the MAT...
