Recently monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to swine red blood cells have been described. One of them (1AC11) was specific for the major swine glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 45 kDa and another mAb, 2G2, recognized the Ba allele in the B system of swine blood groups. Immunoblotting experiments to characterize the mAb 2G2 indicated that it reacts with an antigen of 45 kDa, present on the aqueous phase, glycophorin fraction, of swine red blood cells with the Ba allele and does not react with BbBb homozygous cells. The antigen recognized by 2G2 has the same characteristics as the major glycophorin recognized by 1AC11, so we can conclude that the B system of the swine blood group is on the major glycophorin of swine erythrocyte membranes.

D006021 Glycophorins The major sialoglycoprotein of human erythrocyte membranes. It consists of at least two sialoglycopeptides and is composed of 60% carbohydrate including sialic acid and 40% protein. It is involved in a number of different biological activities including the binding of MN blood groups, influenza viruses, kidney bean phytohemagglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
