Abstract
Antibodies to heterophile transplant antigen (HTA) were tested for reactivity with antigens on human umbilical cord antigenic specificities on isolated endothelial cells. Furthermore, there are antigens on endothelial cells that are distinct from HLA-A,B, C, and from HTA. It is concluded that the HTA and the VEC antigens are different.
