Studies on the Secretor (Type v) and Non-Secretor (Type V) of Group Specific Agglutinin and Their Inheritance

Abstract

Based upon the group specific agglutinins (anti-A and anti-B agglutinins) in saliva, blood groups A, B, and O subjects can be classified into two groups; the secretor (type v) and the non-secretor (type V), and the former is concluded to be inherited by single recessive inheritance against the latter.
