[ noun ] person who makes a gift of property
Used in print (M. Yokoyama et al., "Chemical and serological...)Serum samples were obtained from normal group A , group B and group O donors . In_addition one serum was obtained from a donor ( R._E. . ) who had been sensitized 6 years previously . Anti - A and anti - B activities were determined in fractions from the sera of group A , group B or group O donors by the following tube agglutination methods . The insoluble material which precipitated during dialysis against starting_buffer always showed intense agglutinin activity , regardless of the blood_group of the donor . When the early part of the gradient was flattened , either by using the gradient shown in Fig. 2 or by allowing the `` cone sphere '' gradient to become established more slowly , Region 2 activity could sometimes be separated into two areas ( donors P._J. and R._S. , Fig. 1 and E._M. , Fig. 2 ) .
