Abstract
THE distribution of the blood group A antigen in human tissues as shown by fluorescent rabbit antibody against human ovarian cyst A substance has been previously described1,2. It was found that the A antigen in epithelial tissues was not soluble in ethanol and thus differed from the A antigen found in the vascular endothelium, which was removed by ethanol treatment.
