title: Characterization of anti-Leb antibody purified from serum of immunized rabbits.
abstract: An anti-Le(b) antibody was produced in sera of rabbits by immunization with human saliva from blood group O Le(a-b+) secretor and purified by sequential use of silica beads immobilized with H type 1, Le(a) and Le(b). The purified antibody agglutinated only Le(a-b+) red cells irrespective of their ABO blood type. Hemagglutination reaction with the antibody of blood group O Le(a-b+) red cells was inhibited not only by saliva samples from blood group Le(a-b+) secretors and Synsorb beads immobilized with Le(b) hapten, but also weakly by Synsorb immobilized with Y and H type 2 haptens.
