| Authors: | Michael G O'Rand Lynn J Romrell |
| Abstract: | The isolated rabbit sperm plasma membrane autoantigen RSA-1 has been identified as a receptor for the lectin, Ricinus communis I (RCA). Using purified RSA-1 labeled with125 I, the autoantigen was shown to bind to RCA affinity columns and the eluted fraction bound to specific anti-RSA-1 alloantiserum immunoadsorbent columns. |
