[Anti-T in children].
In the serum of 245 newborn children, 165 elder children, and 50 grown-up persons, the antibody against the antigen T (Thomsen-Friedenreich-antigen, Transformation-antigen, T-receptor) has been determined. In 24,8% of the newborn, it was possible to find anti-T, which might be a cause of so far unclear hemolysis in this age. The investigation of sera from children between 1 and 17 years has shown, that anti-T is already present in children aged one year and reaches the level it usually has in grown-up people at the age of 4.
