Australia antigen: persistence of immunological markers (d, y, w) in antigen carriers.

It is important to establish the stability of Australia antigen subtypes in chronic carriers in order to evaluate the validity of using immunological determinants as long-term epidemiological markers. In this study sequential blood samples containing Australia antigen from 31 chronic carriers were typed for determinants d, y, and w. The subjects included asymptomatic carriers from Rongelap Atoll in the Marshall Islands, Down's syndrome patients, and renal patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. The period of time between blood samples extended from 3 months to 11 years. In no case did the subtype change within any individual. It appears from these data that the Australia antigen subtypes are good long-term markers for epidemiological studies.

Red cell enzyme and serum protein types in a population from Ndeni (Santa Cruz Islands).

Data for 14 red cell enzyme systems, haemoglobin and four serum proteins are presented for 351 people from the island of Ndeni in the Santa Cruz group of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate. The results support the view based on linguistic studies that the Ndeni population is derived from a mixing of older Papuan and later Austronesian-speaking peoples.
