Abstract
SAGISAKA, K., YAMASHITA, H., IWASA, M. and YOKOI, T. Serological Distinction of H Antigen between Saliva and Red Cell in Forensic Practice. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1983, 141 (2), 211-215-Rabbit antisera were prepared by immunization with O red cells or O.Se saliva. Anti-O red cells (anti-Hr) were diluted with O.Se saliva and each of diluents was adopted for elution method on blood or body fluid stains. Anti-Hr gave positive reactions only with red cell stains. On the other hand, anti-O.Se (anti-Hs) absorbed with O red cells kept activity reacting with latex coated with O.Se saliva. Anti-Hs reacted with various body fluid stains but not with red cell stain. It is considered that anti-Hr and -Hs are useful tools for individualization of blood or body fluid stains in forensic practice.
