Stability Studies on ACP1 Isozymes in Human Blood and Menstrual Blood Stains
Enzyme typing of fresh lysates and their stains was performed on a heterogeneous Indian population sample. The polymorphic forms namely *A/*A, *A/*B, *B/*B and *C/*B and their gene frequencies were determined. Studies on paired samples of menstrual bloodstains along with donors’ blood showed identical patterns in the zymogram. Laboratory prepared bloodstains on contamination with semen yielded inconsistent results
Determination of ESD Isozymes in Human Blood, Semen and Vaginal Secretion
Isoenzyme band patterns of esterase D have been studied in blood, vaginal swabs free from semen, seminal fluid and their stains. ESD polymorphism was demonstrated in all body fluids tested. One hundred and sixty two blood samples were analysed using starch agarose gel electrophoresis technique and the gene frequencies were estimated as ESD*1 = 0.765 and ESD*2 = 0.235. Stability studies carried out under different climatic conditions have revealed…
Identification of ABO Blood Group Specific Substances From Human Nails
This study reports the successful detection of ABO blood group specific substances from freshly cut finger and toe nails obtained from 123 ‘donoes’. Both mixed haemagglutination and absorption-elution techniques were employed
Inhibition Reactions of Ten Nonspecific Seed Extracts and Their Conversion into Group Specific Lectins
Inhibtion reactions of 10 nonspecific lectins have been examined using a panel of 22 simple and derivative sugars. The results of haemagglutination inhibition reactions suggest that ten ten extracts, which apparently behave as nonspecific lectins, in fact, are highly specific with respect to the binding of saccharides. They possess multiple binding sites and could be converted into blood group specific lectins in the presence of certain inhibitin…
Malaneese of Malana Glen
A morphometric study of the Malaneese - an isolated community living in the midst of Himalayas in district Kullu, Himachal Pradesh - is undertaken with a view to tracing their ethnic relationship with some neighbouring populations viz. Kinnauras, Kulwis and Lahulies, with whom they share some linguistic and cultural experiences. The data consist of 23 anthropometric variables which include 7 linear body measurements, 6 body diameters and circumfe…
Tibetan Morphology and Clines of Genetical Variations in Tibet
A morphogenetic study of Tibetans is attempted here with the objective of describing their distinctive racial features, assesing regional vari-ations and re-examining the classical hypothesis of two distinct races in Tibet. Following points emerge from the study:i) The Tibetans, by and large, exhibit physical features which identify them with the Mongoloid race. They have scanty hair growth on the body, oblique eyes with epicanthic fold, jutting …
Occipital hair whorl as a racial criterion
Reports on the incidence of single clockwise occipital whorls as opposed to double and counterclockwise whorls reveal no consistent geographical pattern. Earlier workers arrived at different conclusions. While Bernstein ('25b) and Schwartzburg ('27) suggested a dominant inheritance of counter‐clockwise whorls, others like Winchester ('58) and Montagu ('63) believed the clockwise condition to be dominant. In the light of these and some other studi…
A Biological Comparison of Eight Endogamous Groups of the Same Rank [and Comments and Replies]
In order to examine the hypothesis that some Indian groups formerly called "sub-castes" (with the implication of common origin) are in fact separate groups which at different times and places achieved the same social rank, members of eight endogamous groups, all called Brahmins, in Maharashtra were studied for morphological and genetic characters. The statistics developed by Sanghvi-T and G -and an additional one, S (somatoscopic difference) base…
The ABO blood groups and ABH secretions in the Tibetans
ABO Blood groups and ABH secretion factors were investigated among 62 Tibetans at Rahla (Kulu), India. The frequencies of the alleles “P,” “q” and “r” have been found to be 0.166, 0.187 and 0.647 respectively, which are quite comparable to the results obtained by Prince Peter et al. ('61) and Buchi ('52). A high frequency of secretors is found among the Tibetans which favours Buchi's ('54) assumption that the true Mongoloids have a rather high se…
