PE-Cy7 Rat Anti-Mouse Ter-119/Erythroid Cells Antibody (S-R517)

The TER-119 protein is one of the most specific and important cell surface markers for the murine erythroid lineage. It specifically recognizes an antigen associated with glycophorin A on the red blood cell membrane. Throughout erythroid development, from early basophilic erythroblasts to late-stage reticulocytes, it is consistently highly expressed, making it a critical molecular marker for identifying, sorting, and studying murine erythroid cells (such as erythrocytes, progenitor cells, and precursors). This protein belongs to the Ly-6 antigen superfamily, and its antibody (e.g., the TER-119 monoclonal antibody) is an indispensable tool in experimental hematology for the isolation and identification of red blood cells via flow cytometry or immunomagnetic beads, as well as for research into blood diseases like anemia and leukemia.
