abstract：:Allelic subdeterminants (or splits) of the B12-Bw21 complex were characterized by the use of highly selected antisera and cell donors. The B12 antigen was separated into two major components, Bw44 and Bw45; and possibly a third. It was shown that Bw44 is primarily an antigen of whites, and Bw45 of blacks. Of the 68 pe...
