title: A simple method for purification of anti-A and anti-B antibodies using glutaraldehyde-fixed human red blood cells.
abstract: A simple method for purification of anti-A and anti-B antibodies using glutaraldehyde-fixed human erythrocytes is described. Specific antibodies were first absorbed with the corresponding cells, then eluted by heating at 53 degrees-55 degrees C for 15 min. The method is simple and highly efficient with a fair recovery of 15.6%-34.4%.
