Immunogenetics of human haptoglobins: I. The antigenic structure of normal Hp phenotypes

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The various antigenic determinants of serum haptoglobins (Hp) may be studied semiquantitatively in a radioimmunoassay system. Using three antisera of overlapping specificities, we constructed an antigenic model of the various Hp phenotypes comprising four distinct determinants. This adds a new determinant, situated near the hemoglobin binding site, to the three determinants reported in the literature.
