Monoclonal anti-Band 3 antibodies can be used in ELISA and immunoprecipitation. It may also be used for immunofluorescent staining.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Band 3 is a hydrophobic protein, it exists in erythrocytes as a dimer and tetramer and has a strong tendency to aggregate because of oxidative stress.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Band 3, a 90-100kD protein is the major integral protein of human erythrocytes responsible for anion exchange. It also regulates the intracellular pH. Monoclonal anti-Band 3 antibody is useful in in vivo and in vitro study of fragmentation of cytoplasmic domain of band 3 protein. It may also be used for immunoblot analysis. Monoclonal Anti-Human Band 3 antibody reacts specifically with cytoplasmic N-terminal band 3 proteins (90-100kD).
