ABSTRACT ANAEROBIC glycolysis of washed human spermatozoa is inhibited by incubation with ABO isoantibodies when semen donors are of A or B secretor phenotype1. If this differential is
related to the fertilizing capacity of affected cells2–3, a bias would be expected in the transmission of the _A_ and _B_ genes in the population. On this basis and on the basis of other
data on fertility in the ABO system4–10, a mechanism which could account for the stability of the ABO polymorphism in terms of natural selection against gametes and intrauterine zygotes has
been proposed11. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
