Abstract
Putative [murine] anti-H-Y antisera were examined from H-Y-specific antibody in a sensitive antiglobulin radioimmunoassay. All the sera tested were weakly bound by both male and female spleen cells. Antisera absorption with cells of either sex was equally effective in reducing the amount of antiglobulin bound, revealing that their activity was not specific for H-Y gene products. The failure to demonstrate H-Y-specific antibody is discussed.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
