Changes in red cell Bg antigens in haematological disease
The red cell Bg antigens of patients with haematological diseases have been found to be more reactive than those of normal donors. Others HLA-related antigens that are of low incidence in normal donors are found in much higher incidence in these patients. A series of 40 CLL patients has been tested for both known and additional HLA-related antigens by hemagglutination and adsorption and the relationship between the antigens of the red cells and lymphocytes evaluated.
