Abstract: | The number of available C (rh', Rh 2) antigen sites within the Rh system was estimated using trace-labelled antibody. The results, as available sites per red cell, were as follows: CDe/CDe: 45,700-56,400; Cde/Cde: 42,200; CDe/cDE: 25,500-39,700; CwDe/cde: 21,500-40, 000; Cde/cde: 31,100; CDE/cDE: 8,500-9,800; Cde/cde: 7,200. The average equilibrium constant of the anti-C was 0.5 X 10(7) M-1. |
