[The preparation of an anti-A reagent from the lectin of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) for detecting antigen A in human erythrocytes and saliva]. 1995

M D Lutsik, and V A Antoniuk

Anti-A reagent for the detection of the relevant antigen in human red cells and saliva has been developed. The reagent is prepared by dissolution of purified Vicia villosa lectin in the serum of group AB or B diluted 8 times with PBS. This solvent appreciably improves the anti-A selectivity of lectin and is used for titration. Purification of lectin by ammonium sulfate precipitation is described. The reagent agglutinates group A red cells in the minimal lectin concentration of 2.5 to 10 micrograms/ml and does not agglutinate group 0 and B red cells in concentration 10 mg/ml. Moreover, the reagent is fit for the detection of antigen A in traces of blood and saliva by the absorption-elution method.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
