Abstract
In the plasma of a blood group B recipient who was transplanted with a blood group O bone marrow, we investigated an antibody to inhibit the activities of blood group A- and B-glycosyltransferases. When B lymphocytes from the patient were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus, a few clones producing antibodies to B-transferase were obtained.
