Identification and isolation of Lewis blood group antigens from human saliva using monoclonal antibodies. 1984

K Y Pak, and M Blaszczyk, and M Herlyn, and Z Steplewski, and H Koprowski

Solid-phase radioimmunoassay, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and thin-layer chromatography were used to compare, identify, and characterize the Lewis antigens from human salivas, using monoclonal antibodies directed to the Lea and Leb determinants. Sialylated Lea glycolipid was detected in saliva from individuals with Le(a+ b+) and Le(a+ b-) phenotypes. Immunoaffinity chromatography of the saliva from individuals with different phenotypes revealed a glycoprotein of molecular weight greater than 200 kD bearing the Lewis antigenic determinants.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007983 Lewis Blood Group Antigens Carbohydrate antigens structurally related to the ABH BLOOD-GROUP SYSTEM. They may occur as a modification of saccharide chains on glycolipids or glycoproteins on cell surfaces or in plasma, or as free oligosaccharides in secretions. Lewis antigens are not synthesized in blood cells. Instead Lewis glycolipids present in plasma are absorbed onto the surface of ERYTHROCYTES; LYMPHOCYTES; and PLATELETS. The phenotypes Le(a) and Le(b) are the result of the actions of two genes the Le gene (fucosyltransferase FUT3) and the Se gene (fucosyltransferase FUT2) on the precursor carbohydrate, glycolipid or glycoprotein. Other FUCOSYLTRANSFERASES can also synthesize the Lewis antigens.
