摘      要：Blood and saliva samples were collected from 330 vervet monkeys living in 30 troops in central and southern Kenya. The saliva samples were tested for the presence of human-type ABH antigens by standard agglutinationinhibition tests. This population of vervets is the first in which the O phenotype has been found to occur. The gene frequencies in the overall population are as follows: A, 0.74; B, 0.21; and O, 0.05. The serum samples were tested for the presence of agglutinins having specificities like those of human anti-A and anti-B. Ten percent of the vervets have anomalous combinations of salivary antigens and serum agglutinins. The nature of the anomalies is described and a hypothesis presented to account for these observations.
