Animal sera and erythrocytes were compared by: hyperimmunization of rabbits (10 New Zealand White) with hamster erythrocytes; screening hamster erythrocytes and plasmas with human blood diagnostic typing antisera (Ortho Diagnostics), anti-H lectin, anti-A1 lectin and human red cells of various types; absorption and elution of …
