Human platelets as a source of HL-A antigens : a study of various solubilization techniques.
The efficiency of various methods of solubilizing HL-A platelet antigens was investigated. The yield of soluble material was compared with that obtained from lymphocytes in culture in order to judge the quality of platelets as a source of HL-A antigens. The conclusion was reached that platelets, easily obtainable, can be considered as a good source of HL-A antigens.
