T h e presence of HL-A antigens on various blood cells was determined by absorption techniques with the absorbed antisera being tested in the lymphocyte cytotoxicity test for loss of antibody activity.T o overcome the risk of contamination by lymphocytes, methods for the preparation of pure cell suspensions of platelets, granulocytes and erythrocytes were evolved, giving high yields of cells.The following antigens were detected on platelets and granulocytes, but not on erythrocytes either fresh or papainized:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
