An anti-I autoantibody is reported which acted almost exclusively in albumin and was at first mistaken for the antibody responsible for the albumin autoagglutinating property, which is dependent on the presence of sodium caprylate added to albumin as a stabiliser. It is recommended that all sera thought to exhibit non-specific autoagglutination in albumin be carefully investigated for blood group specificity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
