The Mia is the product of a hybrid gene, probably a mutation or crossover events of
glycophorin A and
glycophorin B responsible for the unique
glycophorin hybrid peptide, Gp.Mur phenotype.
(1,3-9,12) Eosinophilic globules, when present, stain with Masson trichrome and ai-antitrypsin and lightly with PAS (Figure 3), but not with hemoglobin or
glycophorin C stains.
Wherever indicated the primary panel was extended up to (secondary panel) antibodies against cytoplasmic (cyt) CD3, CD4, CD8, myeloperoxidase (MPO), terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), CD79, CD41, CD61 and
glycophorin. All these monoclonal antibodies were labeled with either of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), phycoerythin (PE) or peridine chlorophyll protein (PerCP).

Desialylation of
glycophorin (127) is responsible for the clearance of aged erythrocytes (128).
Glycophorin C (GYPC) is an integral membrane glycoprotein.
A notable example is the identification of
glycophorin B as the erythrocyte receptor for P falciparum protein EBL-1 through examination of highly polymorphic genes in populations from malaria-endemic regions [50].
In COPD patients, RBC were shown to alter morphologically, like cytoskeleton changes, ultrastructural modifications, and reductions of
glycophorin A, band 3, and RBC thiols [7, 18, 19].
Mutations in genes coding for protein 4.1, alpha spectrin, beta spectrin, band 3, and
Glycophorin C have all been implicated in hereditary elliptocytosis [4, 5].
Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis of surgical sample was performed by using
glycophorin A (DAKO, clone: JC159, 1:400) for erythroblasts, CD41 (Calbiochem, clone: 283.16B7, 1:2000) for megakaryocytes, and MPO (DAKO, rabbit polyclonal, 1: 500) for granulocytes (Figure 4).
