Heterophile antibodies to rabbit erythrocytes in human sera and identification of the antigen as a glycolipid
Abstract
Normal human sera contain heterophile hemagglutinins to rabbit erythrocytes which are different from anti-B isoantibody and other heterophile antibodies such as Hanganutziu-Deicher antibody or Paul-Bunnell antibody. The antigen to this antibody was purified from rabbit erythrocyte stroma, and identified as pentaglycosyl ceramide, Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc-Cer.
