Summary The agglutinogen Le(a+) was demonstrated in the erythrocytes of 13 features spontaneously aborted on the 17–30th week of pregnancy, and of 12 newborn infants. The agglutinogen was present in these erythrocytes for all parental combinations of the Lewis system. The extent of secretion of the ABO agglutinogens was determined from the saliva of 47 parents and 6 newborn infants. Five of the infants were secretors and one was a nonsecretor. The presence in the erythrocytes of the newborn secretors of the Le(a+) agglutinogen was not in line with the relation characteristic of the adult system between the antigens of the Lewis and the ABO antigens. Thirty four parents with blood of the group Le(a−b+) were secretors, five which were Le(a+b−) were weak secretors or nonsecretors. Five persons of the blood group Le(a−b−) were secretors, and three were nonsecretors.
