Abstract excerpt

The Lewis blood group system comprises two main carbohydrate antigens, Le(a) and Le(b). Lewis typing has traditionally been based on serologic determinations using erythrocytes and saliva. Several recent studies have demonstrated that erythrocyte Lewis phenotype may change during pregnancy or dis...
