Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of anti-ABO antibody
Immunohistochemical analysis of ABO staining in human esophageal cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Immunofluorescence (IF) of anti-ABO antibody
Immunofluorescent analysis of ABO staining in MCF7 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight 594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark.

NCBI Summary for ABO
This gene encodes proteins related to the first discovered blood group system, ABO. Which allele is present in an individual determines the blood group. The 'O' blood group is caused by a deletion of guanine-258 near the N-terminus of the protein which results in a frameshift and translation of an almost entirely different protein. Individuals with the A, B, and AB alleles express glycosyltransferase activities that convert the H antigen into the A or B antigen. Other minor alleles have been found for this gene.

UniProt Comments for ABO
ABO: This protein is the basis of the ABO blood group system. The histo-blood group ABO involves three carbohydrate antigens: A, B, and H. A, B, and AB individuals express a glycosyltransferase activity that converts the H antigen to the A antigen (by addition of UDP-GalNAc) or to the B antigen (by addition of UDP-Gal), whereas O individuals lack such activity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Glycan Metabolism - glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lacto and neolacto series; EC 2.4.1.40; EC 2.4.1.37; Transferase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q34.2
Cellular Component: extracellular region; integral to membrane
Molecular Function: fucosylgalactoside 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase activity; glycoprotein-fucosylgalactoside alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity; metal ion binding
Biological Process: protein amino acid glycosylation
Disease: Blood Group, Abo System
Research Articles on ABO
1. We validated a strong influence of ABO blood type on von Willebrand Factor levels, but also detected a direct ABO influence on FVIII activity and FVIII/VWF ratio after adjustment for VWF.
