Abstract
THE existence of A, B, O and AB groups in thrombocytes, corresponding to these groups in red blood cells, has been reported1,2. The identity of the A and B antigens in platelets and red blood cells has been proved by: (1) platelet agglutination with antisera; (2) cross-adsorption of isoagglutinins with thrombocytes and erythrocytes; (3) inhibition of isoagglutinins with saliva from secretors; and (4) neutralization of antisera with A- and B-group specific substances. Similar results of agglutination of platelets were reported by Ruggieri and Bolognesi3. Adsorption of A- and B-isoagglutinins with platelets was reported by Moureau and André4.
