Studies in Palawan, Philippines, and lrian Jaya, Indonesia, showed that indeterminate human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) Western blot immunoreactivity is due to cross-reacting anti-Plasmodium falciparum antibodies. To further define this immunoreactivity, mapping studies were conducted using
Rabbit antibody to chicken liver mitochondrial glutamine synthetase was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography for analysis of the immunological relatedness of vertebrate glutamine synthetases. The antibody cross-reacted with enzymes from representatives of all five vertebrate classes, indicating
## Abstract A sensitive method has been developed which permits comparative analysis of IgM and IgG antibody specificity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen. It is based on hemolysis of LPSβcoated red blood cells and on its inhibition by homologous and heterologous LPS. By appropriate use of a
