For the last 25 years, antisera for testing P1 in man have been obtained by i.v. injections in goats using hydatid cyst fluid from livers of pigs infected by Echinococcus granulosus. Due to the fact that this antigen has become very rare today, efforts have been made by the authors to substitute it by different antigens and to save antigen by modifying the technique of immunisation as well. By this, very high titres up to 1:4096 could be reached after specification absorption.

D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D010127 P Blood-Group System A blood group related to the ABO, Lewis and I systems. At least five different erythrocyte antigens are possible, some very rare, others almost universal. Multiple alleles are involved in this blood group. Blood-Group System, P,Blood-Group Systems, P,P Blood Group System,P Blood-Group Systems,System, P Blood-Group,Systems, P Blood-Group
D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient. Crossmatching is performed prior to transfusion. Blood Typing,Crossmatching, Blood,Blood Grouping,Blood Crossmatching,Grouping, Blood,Typing, Blood
