Sugar‐Specific Antibodies Reactive towards Cell‐Surface Carbohydrates

Abstract
Antibodies generated against sugar-azoproteins were purified by affinity chromatography using elution with monosaccharide. They have high specificity for monosaccharide and they react with terminal, non-reducing sugars on the surfaces of human erythrocytes. Some of them, native or as Fab fragments, inhibit mitogenic stimulation of [mouse] lymphocytes by concanavalin A.
