title: [Diagnostics of the AB group of AB0(H) system in saliva traces].
abstract: On the basis of the mixed agglutination reaction of the saliva spots, obtained from persons with groups A, B, and AB (extractors) as well as mixtures of saliva obtained from the above subjects in various combinations, were experimentally studied. It was shown to be possible to diagnose the AB group both in the "pure" saliva traces and as an admixture of the AB group saliva to the groups A and B saliva obtained by using the anti-A and anti-B hetero-immune gemagglutinating sera. Our results confirm the previously published opinion on that antigens A and B of the ABse group saliva are positioned in the cis-acting mode, i.e. they are located on one molecule of surface structure of the epithelial (buccal) cell.
