Serum samples from 245 apes (184 Pan troglodytes , five Pan paniscus , 28 Gorilla gorilla , 23 Pongo pygmaeus abelei , and five Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus ) were tested for G1m (1,2,3,17), G2m (23), and G3m (5,6,10,11,13,14,15,16,21,24,28) immunoglobulin allotypes by the classical method of inhibition of hemagglutination. Some phenotypes are species specific while a few are shared by man and African apes.
