title: [Presence of the H blood group antigen on a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Enzymatic transformation of H to A and B specificities].
abstract: The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA-M) was purified from a hepatic metastasis obtained from a blood group O patient with a cancer of the rectum. Using 125I-labelled-CEA and blood group antisera, H specificity was found on the CEA-M; the addition of anti-H to anti-CEA does not modify the binding of labelled-CEA-M to its antibodies (86%), this result leads us to conclude that H and CEA determinants are carried by the same molecule. However the low percentage of binding (30% with 1/10 anti-H) suggests that only a few CEA-M molecules do carry the H antigenic determinant. Finally, glycosyltransferases were used to modify the H specificity into blood group A and B specificities.
