title: Serological characterisation of a mouse monoclonal anti-P-like antibody.
abstract: An IgM mouse monoclonal antibody, LM 147/328, raised against an Escherichia coli immunogen, was found to possess anti-P-like specificity. It is proposed that this antibody recognises an epitope on a Gal beta 1-3GalNAc disaccharide structure (GalNAc = N-acetyl-D-galactosamine). The haemagglutinating activity of this antibody was consistently strong with adult erythrocytes, but gave significantly weak reactions with about 7% of cord erythrocyte samples.
