Biological Significance
The Forssman glycolipid is a glycosylceramide possessing a neutral pentasaccharide head group, referred to as the Forssman antigen (Fa) and is a member of the globoseries glycolipid family. Fa has been identified in a number of mammals and exhibits heterogeneity with respect to developmental and cell-type expression among species. Some studies have reported the presence of the Fa in certain human embryonic and tumor cells. The majority of human individuals have undetectable levels of Fa. Gastric and colonic tumors from Fa-negative patients, however, contained relatively high levels of Fa. Moreover, compared with normal lung tissue, many lung cancers contained elevated levels of Fa. These observations arouse interest in Fa for a possible role as a human tumor antigen.
Cross-Reactivity
Mouse
Immunogen
Forssman antigen antibody was raised in Rat using mouse mammary tumors as the immunogen.

Product Notes
The Forssman (Catalog #AAA837970) is an Antibody produced from Rat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Forssman can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin. Optimal dilution should be determined by titration. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Forssman for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Forssman, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
