Species Specific Blood Groups in Cynopithecus niger (Celebes Ape).

Abstract

Summary Specific isoantigens, designated Cn₁ and Cn₂, have been detected on erythrocytes of the Celebes ape, thus defining 3 types of individuals, Cn1, Cn2, and Cn1,2. Methods have been developed which may prove useful in detection of isoantigens among other primate species.
