Abstract
TAKEDA, K. and HIRAIA, K. ABO Blood Group Antigens of Human Spermatozoa. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 147 (3), 267-272 - ABO blood group antigens on the membrane of human spermatozoa were investigated with the peroxidase-labelled antibody test. Spermatozoa from O secretor were incubated with saliva or seminal plasma of A and B secretors, but the specific peroxidase staining was negative. This result indicates that blood group antigens on human spermatozoa originate from spermatozoon itself, but not from seminal plasma.
