Anti-JAL (Pas) was kindly provided by Hein Hustinx.2 The anti-JAHK antisera P4.53A,3 P4.53B and P4.53C7 were reported previously. Isoagglutinins and the known anti-E antibody in P4.53C were absorbed when needed; a titer of at least 8 was confirmed in all sera after absorption. Hemagglutination was performed in gel matrix technique (Liss-Coombs Scangel; Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany).
