Serology, Biochemistry, and Pathology of Antigens Defined by Cold Agglutinins

  • Chapter
Molecular Basis of Human Blood Group Antigens

Part of the book series: Blood Cell Biochemistry ((BLBI,volume 6))

Abstract

This chapter covers antigens recognized by a distinct group of antibodies, the so-called cold agglutinins (CAs). CAs and some of the principal characteristics of the antigens they recognize will be briefly described introducing the chapter.
