Replicated blood typing reagents were made to detect an interaction antigen (hybrid substance) on the red cells of several species hybrids of birds. Reagents against pigeon X ringneck dove hybrids are compared with other reagents made in an effort to find a similar interaction in the chicken X guinea fowl hybrid and in the ringneck X mourning dove hybrid. Mallard X muscovy hybrids also were tested for their reported red cell interaction product. Both rabbits and parental types were injected with the hybrids' red cells from the chicken X guinea fowl and mallard X muscovy crosses, but no interaction product was disclosed. The single reagent against the ringneck X mourning dove hybrid also failed to detect an interaction product.
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.
