Abstract
With the aid of a potent and specific anti-H reagent derived from Lotus tetragonolobotus seeds, we have continued to make a comparative study of salivary secretion factors A, B and H. Our volunteer donors have been men confined to the Utah State Prison where repeated specimens could be obtained. Our results of both blood and saliva analyses as well as selected gastric juice specimens will show, 1. that people of blood groups A and B, as well as O, secrete H substance, 2. that in certain instances H substance is secreted in large amounts despite a total lack of A secretion, and that 3. this data shows a definite cleavage of secretion of these two important polysaccharides. The relationship of these findings to the Lewis system was discussed.
