Human blood group A and H glycolipids in porcine plasma. Evidence for acquisition of the erythrocyte antigens from plasma.
Human blood group A- and H-antigenic glycosphingolipids were isolated from pooled porcine plasma. The structures of the A-active hexa- and H-active pentaglycosylceramides of lactoseries (type 1 sugar chain) were the same as those in porcine erythrocytes. These results endorse biochemically the previous observations that the A and H antigens on porcine erythrocytes are taken up from plasma.
