Abstract excerpt

Monoclonal antibodies and thin-layer chromatography were used to study the unusual erythrocyte Lewis phenotypes found in healthy Polynesians. A single monoclonal anti-Leb reagent 073 (clone LM129) was found which could detect Leb antigen on the Polynesian erythrocytes of samples that were unreact...
