Abstract
THE functional differences between reticulocytes and erythrocytes suggest that there may be antigenic differences on their surfaces. If there were antigen(s) only on immature erythroid cells, they could be useful markers in studies of erythroid development. We have found guinea-pig antibody which reacts specifically with rabbit reticulocytes but not with erythrocytes, leucocytes, platelets, dextran, albumin or transferrin.
