Group Antigens in Human Organs,
Abstract
The monograph, which was originally published in German in 1941, deals with the important problem of the occurrence of blood group specific antigens in the tissues of man. A careful quantitative study with a mathematical analysis was carried out using two basic methods--the inhibition of isoagglutination for the presence of water-soluble group specific antigens and the complement fixation method for the demonstration of both alcohol-soluble and water-soluble group specific substances. The treatise presents further experimental proof that the antigens representing the A and B substances are not limited to the red blood cells but occur in most organs of the body with the possible exception of the brain.
