Abstract
Extracts of the swan mussel Anodonta cygnea specifically agglutinated enzyme treated human erythrocytes of phenotypes A(1), A(2), B, A(1)B and A(2)B. Absorption with A(2) or B cells left a specific agglutinin for A(1) 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-acctyl-d-galactosaminc, N-acetyld- glucosamine, raffinose and stachyose.
