Abstract
FOR some time past we have been engaged on the isolation and characterization of the specific blood group substances which belong to the ABO1 system. The identification of the component molecules of these complex mucoids has been delayed until satisfactory evidence for the homogeneity of the substances was obtained. On the basis of the results of measurements which have involved the physical, chemical and immunological properties of the human group A -substance, we consider that this material has now been obtained as a homogeneous complex. Full details of its preparation and properties will be given elsewhere2.
