The antibody Fl shows preferential reactivity with adult erythrocytes over newborn erythrocytes, and its reactivity is abolished by sialidase treatment of the erythrocyte. The antibody was found to recognize binary determinants linked to the branched lacto-N-isooctaosylceramide (formula; see text) T
