title: Identification of Leb antigens in meconium of a phenotypically a Le(a+ b-) non-secretor individual.
abstract: Blood group active fucolipids of human meconium have been shown to correlate to the ABH and Lewis blood groups and to the secretor status of the corresponding children. Using a monoclonal anti-Leb antibody and an antibody to chromatogram binding assay the presence of Leb antigens in meconium of a phenotypically A Le(a+ b-) non-secretor individual is here demonstrated. Phenotype was determined on cord blood and saliva obtained 2 years after birth.
