L. Kornstad et al., ABH SECRETOR STATUS, AS JUDGED BY THE LEWIS PHENOTYPES, IN NORWEGIAN SURVIVORS FROM MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE, APMIS. Acta pathologica, microbiologica et immunologica Scandinavica, 101(10), 1993, pp. 791-794
Survivors from meningococcal disease (serogroups B and C) and a contro
l series (blood donors) were examined for their ability to secrete ABH
blood group substance. The examination was done indirectly by determi
ning their Lewis phenotypes. There was no significant difference in th
e secretor status between the two groups.
