Researchers Probe Possibility
of Turning A, B Blood Into 0

REHOVOT — The possibil-
ity of transforming A, B,
and AB blood into 0 blood,
thus making it suitable for
transfusion into recipients of
any blood type, is being in-
vestigated by Dr. Harold
Flowers of the Weizmann In-
stitute's biophysics depart-
ment, who is working in co-
operation with Noam Harpaz
and Prof. Nathan Sharon of
that department.
The research, which has
already reached the point
where B type red blood cells
have been given the proper.
ties of 0 type red blood cells,
is part of a more basic study
of membrane structure.

The serological activity of
the blood is controlled by the
type of red blood cells pres-
ent. In the A, B, 0 group,
the difference between cells
of type A and 0, for ex-
ample, is dependent on the
presence of a single sugar
attached to large molecules
forming part of the mem•
brave of the cell. Another
slightly different sugar dif-
ferentiates B from 0 cells,
Institute researchers have
concentrated so far on the B
group, in which the crucial
sugar is galactose. A method
has been found for removing
this galactose, thus giving B
cells the properties -of 0
cells.
These are preliminary ex-
periments, performed out-
side the body, and it may
not be possible to convert A
or B type blood, in the near
future, into 0 blood for

The resistance which some of the discriminating clubs
are putting up under various pretexts indicates that the
American Jewish Committee fight against them is only at
its beginning. Of the 1.200 corporations to whom the AJCom-

for their executives to clubs where Jews are not wanted,
only about 300 have so far made their attitude clear. A
substantial number of requests are being received by the
AJCommittee from banks and other corporations about
membership policies of clubs in their localities.
