Notes:
Treatment of cattle red cells (CRC) with proteases and neuraminidase revealed at least one trypsin- or pronase-sensitive type and a protese-resistant type of sialoglycoprotein.The antigen F itself and the antigen IM in the F/F and F/V type of CRC were associated with the protease-resistant glycoprotein. Moreover, they were demonstrable in the agglutination test, but only after treatment with proteases. The antigen V, allelic to F, was, however, associated with a pronase-sensitive protein and the antigen IM in the V/V type of CRC with a trypsin- or pronasesensitive glycoprotein. The antigen N′ was inactivated by chymotrypsin or pronase, irrespective of whether it was transmitted with the F or with the V.While the antigens IM, N′ and the antigen reacting with rabbit serum, in addition to the antigen F in the F/F type of CRC, showed no or only very weak (titre 1:2) reactions, these same antigens, in addition to the antigen V in the V/V type of CRC, all showed high titres (1: 32 to 1: 128) in the anti-globulin test.
