(M. Yokoyama et al., "Chemical and serological...)

Serum samples were obtained from normal group A , group B and group O donors .

Anti - A and anti - B activities were determined in fractions from the sera of group A , group B or group O donors by the following tube agglutination methods .

In several instances group O cells were also used as controls .

There appeared to be no difference in the distribution of anti - A and anti - B activity in group O serum , though in two group O donors ( J._F. and E._M. ) only one type of agglutinin was found in the regions of low anionic binding capacity ( Figs. 1 and 2 ) .
