Strains G1 and G2 showed preferential binding to saliva from B secretors over that from O secretors, and A secretors were poorly recognized. |
The ABO blood group and Lewis phenotype in saliva were determined for persons found to be secretors as described. |
In all blood groups the average number of cavities is lower for ABH secretors than for non-secretors. |
This property distinguishes secretors from non-secretors, a property that has forensic importance such as in cases of rape. |
Of these 28 patients, 24 were homozygous and heterozygous secretors and 4 were nonsecretors. |
