Forssman Antigen
Background Information The Forssman Antigen is a glycolipid heterophil protein that is expressed in the tissues of many species, most notably sheep, and is not present in human, rat or rabbit cells. The Forssman Antigen was named after the Swedish pathologist John F. Forssman and was later identified as the GalNAc(1-3)/GalNAc(1-R) disaccharide group. Forssman Antigen specificity was described in many animal species, plants and bacteria. In mouse, Forssman Antigen is a developmental and differentiation-associated antigen. Expression of Forssman Antigen in macrophages can be modulated by cytokines.
