title: Sugar-specific antibodies reactive towards cell-surface carbohydrates.
abstract: Antibodies generated against sugar-azoproteins have been purified by affinity chromatography using elution with monosaccharide. They have high specificity for monosaccharide and they react with terminal, non-reducing sugars on the surfaces of human erythrocytes. Some of them, either native or as Fab fragments, inhibit mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes by concanavalin A.
