title: Immunoaffinity isolation of the Lewis blood group antigens.
abstract: Extraction, followed by immunoaffinity chromatography on a column of immobilized antibodies is described for the isolation of the Lewis blood group antigens. These affinity-isolated antigens are suitable in organ transplant immunology laboratories for screening potential donors and recipients for mismatch at the Lewis antigen loci.
