Immunochemical studies on blood groups: The internal structure and immunological properties of water-soluble human blood group A substance studied by Smith degradation, liberation, and fractionation of oligosaccharides and reaction with lectins

It has been possible, by employing a new color reaction for methylpentoses, to determine the fucose content of individual hog and human blood group A, B, and O substances. The data indicate an inverse correlation between fucose content of the hog A and O substances and ability to cross-react with Type XIV antipneumococcus serum. The human A, B, and O substances display no correlation between their fucose content and ability to cross-react with Type XIV antipneumococcus serum.

Analyses of specific precipitates of hog and human blood group A substances for the amount of fucose precipitable by antibody have shown, that with certain preparations, essentially all of the fucose of the blood group substance is precipitated.

Distribution of blood group A, B, and H(O) activities among 282 aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, many isolated from the blood of patients, has been studied. Almost half of these bacteria were found to be blood group active. About 10 per cent of the organisms exhibited high, disproportional activities, which in some instances approached those of crude human blood group mucoids. No significant, specific D (Rho), M, or N activity was found in approximately 70 members of the Enterobacteriaceae. An attempt was made to correlate the observed activity of a given organism of known O somatic antigen with its monosaccharide components. The presence of those sugars which account for the specificity of human blood group mucoids was noted. The bearing of these findings on the origin of human anti-A and anti-B isoantibodies has been mentioned.
