has glosseng: The Lewis antigen system is a human blood group system based upon genes on chromosome 19 q13.3, (FUT2) and 19p13.3 (FUT3), which both have fucosyltransferase activity. There are two main types of Lewis antigens, Lewis a and Lewis b. They are red cell antigens which are not produced by the erythrocyte itself.
