Abstract
1. Specific antibodies against a whole preparation of glycophorins fro m rat erythrocyte membrane and against its most prominent component (3 2 kDa) were prepared. 2. Both antisera and the respective affinity-pur ified antibodies recognize the 74, 32 and 25 kDa components of rat gly cophorins; therefore, a close antigenic relationship between them can be inferred. 3. On the other hand, a cross-reaction with human glycoph orin A (both MM- and NN-type) is observed for both antisera. 4. This s uggests the existence of epitopes common to human and rat glycophorins .
