The distribution of I/i, Pr and Gd antigens in mammalian tissues.
The I/i Pr1-2 and Gd antigens are the targets of cold agglutinins. The expression of these antigens in the main organs of four mammalian species was studied by indirect immunofluorescence. Specific distribution patterns were observed and possible clinical aspects of the findings are discussed.
