Heterophile Hanganutziu-Deicher antibodies in sera of patients with Kawasaki diseases.
The heterophile antibody levels in sera from patients with Kawasaki disease (49 sera from 39 cases) were measured by sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) agglutination and radioimmunoassay in microplates coated with Hanganutziu-Deicher (H-D) antigen-active glycosphingolipid, equine hematoside. The antibody levels were low in the first week of illness, increased rapidly in the 2nd week, and thereafter gradually decreased. The SRBC agglutination titers and H-D antibody titers of sera from patients with Kawasaki disease from week 2 to 8 of illness were significantly higher than those of healthy children (44 sera) and normal cord blood (13 sera).
