Active carbohydrate antigens

As detailed structural information is obtained from a greater diversity of parasitic nematodes it is expected that the occurrence of stage-specific carbohydrate antigens, and therefore stage-specific glycosyl transferase activities, will be identified as a common characteristic. 

Many of the myeloma proteins exhibit antibody-like activity and some react selectively with carbohydrate antigens [74], Myeloma proteins which are reported to be homogeneous in molecular structure have been used extensively for elucidating the structure of different types of immunoglobulins [11, 12]. A myeloma protein preparation from ascitic fluid...
