ABO and Lewis Blood Groups in Crab-eating Macaques

Abstract
Blood and submaxillary gland of crab-eating macaques were tested for their ABO and Lewis blood groups. All the macaques tested contained A and/or B substances in their glands and a rough reciprocal relation seemed to exist between the antigen of gland and the antibody of serum. In testing the red cells, crab-eating macaques could be divided into three groups in Lewis blood groups, as in man, and it was suggested that the Lea substance on the red cells might be taken up from the serum. The submaxillary glands contained both Lea and Leb substances being independent of Lewis groups of the red cells.
