title: Preparation of high-titre anti-P1 sera for blood typing in man.
abstract: For the last 25 years, antisera for testing P1 in man have been obtained by i.v. injections in goats using hydatid cyst fluid from livers of pigs infected by Echinococcus granulosus. Due to the fact that this antigen has become very rare today, efforts have been made by the authors to substitute it by different antigens and to save antigen by modifying the technique of immunisation as well. By this, very high titres up to 1:4096 could be reached after specification absorption.
