title: [Expression of ABH and Lewis antigens in endometrium--relation to hormonal stimulation].
abstract: From 138 gynaecological abrasiones appropriate histological preparations were chosen. Case history and pathological diagnosis were known. ABH and Lewis antigens were marked immunohistologically. According to our findings, in the endometrial glands the ABH antigen expression is highest in the proliferation phase and decreases within the secretion phase. The same hormonal dependency could be demonstrated for the Lea antigens present in the superficial epithelium of the endometrium. Exogen application of estrogens enhances ABH antigen marking, application of gestagens does not.
