Used in print (M. Yokoyama et al., "Chemical and serological...)A variety of techniques have been directed toward the isolation and study of blood_group antibodies . Speer and coworkers , in a similar study of blood_group antibodies of whole sera , used a series of gradients for elution from DEAE-cellulose . In the present work whole sera have been fractionated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose using single gradients similar to those described by Sober and Peterson , and certain chemical and serological properties of the fractions containing antibodies of the ABO and Rh systems have been described . One contained complete antibody and had a titer of 1 : 512 in saline . The second contained incomplete antibody and showed titers of 1 : 256 in albumin and 1 : 2048 by the indirect_Coombs_test . |
