Abstract
The production of a monoclonal antibody which detects the low-incidenc e red cell antigen Wr(a) is described. The antibody (BGU1-WR) was isol ated following immunization of BALB/tk mice with Wr(a+) cells. BGU1-WR is an IgG1 antibody and reacted in a manner similar to human polyclon al anti-Wr(a) with untreated, protease treated and chemically modified Wr(a+) cells.
