Three monoclonal (MS-93: MS-94; MS-95) and two polyclonal (Al958; X1960) anti-S anti a monoclonal anti-GPB (Mab 148) were tested by standard hemagglutination with RBCs of known common and rare phenotype, with S+ RBCs treated with enzymes, with different concentrations of NaClO, and after incubation with synthetic peptides. The anti-S gave different patterns of reactivity. Reactivity with sialidase-treated RBCs showed that MS-93, MS-95.

MS-95 and X1960 were strongly reactive with TSEN+ RBCs and only Mab 148 agglutinated S- Dantu+ and S- St(a+) RBCs MS-94 and Mab 148 agglutinated S+ RBCs treated with NaClO. MS-93 was inhibited only by the 14-mer S-specific synthetic peptide whereas MS-95 was inhibited by all three synthetic peptides containing S-relevant residues.
