Abstract
Summary. Extracts of the swan mussel Anodonta cygnea specifically agglutinated enzyme treated human erythrocytes of phenotypes A1, A2, B, A1B and A2B. Absorption with A2 or B cells left a specific agglutinin for A1 cells, but separable agglutinins against A and B cells could not be demonstrated. Of 29 sugars tested in parallel with anti‐A from Helix aspersa, only lactose inhibited the A. cygnea agglutinins, whereas the H. aspersa anti‐A was inhibited by N‐acetyl‐d‐galactosamine, N‐acetyl‐d‐glucosamine, raffinose and stachyose.
