Investigation of Lewis phenotypes in Polynesians: evidence of a weak secretor phenotype.

Vox sanguinis - 1 Jan 1990

Henry S M, Benny A G, Woodfield D G

Abstract excerpt

The salivary ABH and Lewis antigens of Polynesians were measured using a standardised red cell agglutination microplate assay and compared with the red cell defined Lewis phenotypes. Salivary ABH substances were detected in almost all saliva samples tested, with low levels (partial secretion) of ABH substances in the saliva from Le(a+b-) and Le(a+b+) individuals. Salivary Leb substance was detected in all...
