title: Mapping of peptidic epitopes of glycophorins A (GPA) and C (GPC) with peptides synthesized on plastic pins (Pepscan analysis).
abstract: The peptidic epitopes of 12 anti-GPA and 4 anti-GPC antibodies were identified with the use of peptides synthesized on the pins. Most of the antibodies were specific for epitopes located in extracellular portion of glycophorins, and only 2 anti-GPA and 1 anti-GPC recognized epitopes in their C-terminal cytoplasmic tails. The extracellular GPA epitopes were located in two regions of the polypeptide chain, within a.a. residues 38-44 and 49-58.
