[Immunochemical and chromatographic determination of ABH antigens in compact bone tissue].

The identification of ABH antigens from compact bone tissue is known from many sources. The purpose of this study was to make a contribution to the localization of blood-group-active substances in compact bone tissue. A variety of preparation and identification methods were successfully used and compared. Samples were extracted from compact bone tissue, separated by HPTLC, and examined using the absorption-elution and PAP techniques. Additionally, the PAP technique was carried out on cryostat sections. Serologically active blood-group substances were consistently demonstrated in the organic components of the haversian canals.
