Another example of an antibody reacting optimally with p red cells. 1976

C H Issitt, and J B Duckett, and B M Osborne, and J B Gut, and J Beasley

An antibody is described that reacted strongly with red cells of the p(Tj(a-)) phenotype and moderately to strongly with cord red cells of the P2 phenotype. The antibody failed to react, or reacted very weakly, with red cells of the P1k and phenotypes and with the red cells of five children of a p individual, ahd reacted weakly with occasional red cell samples from adults of the P2 phenotype. These results suggest that the antibody does not detect a product of the p gene but instead detects a P system precursor substance. In p individuals this P system precursor substance is not altered by the p genes. In individuals of the P1 or P2 phenocursor substance is not altered by the p genes. In individuals of the P1 or P2 phenotype this precursor substance is apparently converted to P1 and/or P antigens by the P1 or P2 genes.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
