Fifty infectious mononucleosis (IM) and 150 noninfectious mononucleosis (non-IM) sera were tested by a hemadsorption immunocapture test (HIT) for the detection of heterophile antibodies of IgM, IgA, and IgE classes. The specificity of Paul-Bunnell (PB) antibodies was ascertained by a differential ab
## Abstract ## __Background__ Serum calcitonin is the most useful tumor marker for the diagnosis and followโup of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Spurious hypercalcitoninemia caused by heterophilic antibody interference (HAI) is rarely found in patients without MTC. ## __Methods__ We studied
## Abstract ## Background The purpose of our study was to examine the prevalence of significant heterophilic antibody (HAb) interferences in serum calcitonin measurement in a large cohort of patients with thyroid nodules. ## Methods Enrolled in the study were 378 patients with thyroid nodules sh
The ABO and Lewis blood group antigens are cell surface carbohydrate determinants formed by the sequential addition of saccharides to precursor backbone structures of membrane lipids and proteins. Suppression of normally active glycosyltransferases results in the absence of antigens that are normall
