TER-119 recognizes a 52 kDa cell surface protein that strongly associates with glycophorin A on the erythrocyte membrane 1 . The antigen is not present on a number of tested cell lines, including T cell, B cell, macrophage, mast cell, fibroblast, epithelial, and murine erythroleukemia cultured lines.
TER-119 is a mouse erythroid lineage-specific rat monoclonal antibody that reacts with 100% of mature erythrocytes and 80-90% of day 14 fetal liver cells, after which the percentage of TER-119+ fetal cells declines to 40-50% 2. Additionally, TER-119 stains 20-25% of adult mouse bone marrow cells and 2-3% of spleen cells, but not thymocytes or lymph node cells.
TER-119 was produced in Wister rats immunized with BALB/c fetal liver cells 1 . Spleen cells were fused with X63.Ag8.653 myeloma cells to produce a hybridoma clone reactive against fetal liver cells. TER-119 recognizes a 7, 9 di-O-acetyl sialic acid glyco-epitope 3 . Additionally, the epitope is sensitive to hemagglutinin esterase derived from bovine coronavirus (Mebus strain) but not influenza C.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
