title: Characterization of monoclonal antibodies in section 2B using enzymes and variant red blood cells.
abstract: Antibodies in Section 2B of the Third International Workshop on Monoclonal Antibodies were tested against human erythrocytes treated with different enzymes and against erythrocytes with well-defined rare phenotypes by immunoblotting and hemagglutination. In some instances, the epitope recognized by the Mab was precisely determined.
