IMMUNOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON BLOOD GROUPS : XI. SPECIES DIFFERENCES AMONG BLOOD GROUP A SUBSTANCES
1Departments of Neurology, Bacteriology, and Pediatrics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and the Neurological Institute and Babies Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, New York.
Abstract:
The reactions of hog, human, and horse blood group A substances with antibodies produced on injection of these substances into individuals of blood groups B and O have been studied by hemagglutination inhibition and by quantitative precipitin technics. Species differences in reactivity with antisera exist among these blood group A substances. Hog and human A substances are very closely related chemically as evidenced by their extensive cross-reaction while horse A substance crossreacts much less with antisera to both hog and human A substances. Analysis for hexosamine of specific precipitates of hog and human A substances and antibody to human A substance formed as a consequence of heterospecific pregnancy has shown that essentially all of the glucosamine of the blood group substance is precipitated.

History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
