Seed Agglutinin with Specificity within the Rhesus Blood Group System

Seed Agglutinin with Specificity within the Rhesus Blood Group System

MANY specific agglutinins from seeds are known for human blood groups; most are specific within the ABO and MN blood group systems 1,2 . Some apparently non-specific seed agglutinins are, in fact, specific; for example, the agglutinin from Ricinus communis seeds 3 reacts with the chemical ground str...

Zusammenfassung:MANY specific agglutinins from seeds are known for human blood groups; most are specific within the ABO and MN blood group systems 1,2 . Some apparently non-specific seed agglutinins are, in fact, specific; for example, the agglutinin from Ricinus communis seeds 3 reacts with the chemical ground structure of the ABH and Le a blood group specific substances and is specific for the chemically similar pneumococcus Type XIV capsular polysaccharide.
