- Title
Action of Influenza Viruses, Receptor-destroying Enzyme and Proteases on Blood Group Agglutinogen M<sup>g</sup>.

- Abstract
THE ability of influenza viruses and receptor-destroying enzyme from Vibrio cholerae to inactivate human erythrocyte agglutinogens M and N was first noted in this Laboratory1 and afterwards independently in Finland2. Lua and Lub agglutinogens are also inactivated by influenza viruses but not by the receptor-destroying enzyme3. None of 17 additional human blood group agglutinogens-including S and s which are considered to be products of genes very closely linked to the M and N genes-was destroyed by these agents1,3. On the other hand, the inactivation of a number of erythrocyte agglutinogens including M and N by papain, trypsin and other enzymes has been known for a considerable time4-6.
