Agglutinating specificity for LW factor in guinea pig and rabbit anti-Rh serums

Science. 1967 Jun 30;156(3783):1744-6. doi: 10.1126/science.156.3783.1744.

Abstract

Serums produced in guinea pigs or rabbits inocutlated with monkey (rhesuts or baboon) or human red cells contain the same high-incidence agglutinating activity found in human antiLW serumls. After one absorption with LW-negative blood cells. anti-LW specificity, was observed with stronger reactions on Rh-positive than Rh-megative cells. The 85-percent specificity was obtained after complete absorption with Rh-negative blood.
