title: The use of purified lectins in immunhematology.
abstract: A simple method for preparing purified lectins for use in immunohematology, employing bovine albumin as a diluent, is described. The results of tests using purified lectins on normal, polyagglutinable and selected MN-system variant red blood cells, confirm and extend previously reported results obtained with impure lectin preparations.
