Abstract
MANY workers have shown similarities between blood group substances and a variety of bacterial and non-bacterial antigens. Illchmann-Christ and Nagel1 found that anti-A antibody was removed from B and O sera by Staphylococci and reasoned that Staphylococci possessed an A-like receptor. This suggests that persons of blood group A may have an increased susceptibility to staphylococcal infection due to an inability to elaborate an antibody which may cross-react with their own red blood cells.
