Genetics of the LH red blood cell membrane specificity.
A lectin obtained from seeds of Erythrina lithosperma detects a new specificity, called LH, on the human red blood cell membrane. Family investigations show conclusively that the specificity is under autosomal genetic control, with the gene determining the LH- type being dominant over its allele for the LH+ type.
