title: [Research on the eventual cross-reactivity of anti-Wr(a) with various viral, bacterial and mycotic antigenes (author's transl)].
abstract: Among the sera of 1011 blood donors, they have been collected 34 anti-Wr(a) antibodies. By IgG antiglobulin test, the titer was 1/8 or more in 21 sera. After absorption on viral, bacterial and mycotic antigens, the sera were still reactive with Wr(a) + red blood cells. These results show that no tested antigen is cross-reactive with Wr(a) antigen. However, the AA. suggest that the research of a widley diffused antigen, cross-reactive with Wr(a) + red blood cells, is a valuable approach to the problem of IgG anti-Wr(a) antibodies in normal, never transfused blood donors.
