Classification of human heterophile antibodies.
A classification of heterophile antibodies is proposed, which is based on interactions with guinea pig kidney homogenate. The major groups of antibodies combining with guinea pig kidney encompass Hanganutziu-Deicher antibodies, Forssman antibodies, and antibodies to Newcastle disease virus. Antibodies which fail to combine with guinea pig kidney are primarily those of Paul-Bunnell variety.
