1. Human gallbladder mucin has been implicated to play a role in gallstone disease. In spite of this fact relatively little is known about the structure of human gallbladder mucin. In this study we have investigated the possible heterogeneity of mucin. For this purpose polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against gallbladder mucin were raised. All antibodies reacted primarily with carbohydrate antigenic determinants. With these antibodies the immunoreactivity of gallbladder mucin from 60 patients with cholesterol gallstones and 20 subjects without stones was screened. In addition, reactivity with several lectins was studied. 2. Considerable heterogeneity was found with both antibody and lectin typing, but there was no significant difference in heterogeneity between mucin from patients with gallstones and control subjects. Immunoblotting revealed that there was similarity between the reaction of the polyclonal antibody and the Helix pomatia agglutinin. All mucin preparations reacting with the polyclonal antibody also bound to Helix pomatia agglutinin. Nineteen of the 21 reacting mucins (90%) were from patients with blood group A (18 patients) or AB (one patient) and expression of A antigen could be demonstrated on the mucin of these patients. The resulting two reacting mucins were from patients with type O. However, expression of the blood group antigen could not account for the lack of reactivity of the mucin of other patients. The Helix pomatia agglutinin partially blocked the reactivity of the polyclonal antibody, whereas anti-A antibody did not show inhibition, indicating that more then only blood group A epitopes were recognized by this antibody. 3. We conclude that considerable patient to patient heterogeneity of human gallbladder mucin exists. This may have functional consequences for the role of mucin in the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

Abstract Background A few people infected by the coronavirus become seriously ill, while others show little to no signs of the symptoms, or are asymptomatic. Recent researches are pointing to the fact that the ABO blood group might play an important role in a person’s susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 infection. Aim of the study: try to understand the relationship between ABO groups and COVID-19 (susceptibility and severity). Results A total of (507) patients were included in this study. The study population was divided based on the ABO blood group into types A+, A−, B+, AB, O+, and O−. Blood group A was associated with high susceptibility of infection: group A, 381 (75.1%); and less common in group O, 97 (19.2%), group B, 18 (3.5%), and group AB, 11 (2.2%). The severity of COVID-19 infection was common in non-blood group O where (20 (7.1%), 4 (26.7%), 2 (11%), and 1 (9%) in type A+, A−, B+, and AB, respectively), while in type O 3.1%. And mechanically ventilated patients were 22 (5.9%), 2 (13.4%), 2 (11.1%), and 1 (1%). Mortality was high in blood groups A and B, 16 (4.37%) and 1 (5.5%), respectively, while in blood group O, it was 1%. Conclusion The incidence, severity, and mortality of COVID-19 were common in non-blood group O. While blood group O was protected against COVID-19.
