Changes in immunologic properties of group A RBCs during treatment with an A‐degrading exo‐α‐<i>N</i>‐acetylgalactosaminidase

Abstract

A epitopes mediating immune hemolysis and immune adherence to and activation of monocytic cells are highly sensitive to A-zyme cleavage, as compared to those mediating hemagglutination with monoclonal and polyclonal anti-A.
