Beta (1,2) xylose is present exclusively in plant N-glycans so antibodies against this sugar moiety should not cross-react with any mammal glycoprotein.This antibody do not bind free D-xylose. This antibody does not seem to work in immunolocalization.,Negative control: Fetuin, a glycoprotein containing fucose linked in alpha 1.6 and no xylose, Sigma, product number F3385. Positive control: Type II - horseradish peroxidase which contains β1.2 Xylose and α1.3 fucose, Sigma, product number P8250
The antibody specifically cross-reacts with xylose residues in β1,2 that bind to the protein N-glycan. This residue is characteristic of plant protein N-glycans and is not present in animal protein N-glycans. This residue is added to the Golgi apparatus.
