title: Sex-specific agglutination of human erythrocytes by body fluids from marine invertebrates and fishes: a preliminary study.
abstract: Agglutinins in body fluids from several invertebrate and vertebrate (fish) species demonstrated a rare specificity in reacting differently with erythrocytes from human females and males. The body fluids from these animals may provide readily available reagents to study the little known sex-specific components on cell surfaces.
