We have studied 506 Amerindians from three French Guiana groups: 194 Wayampi, living in Trois-Sauts, and 100 in the Camopi area; 47 Emerillon also living in the Camopi area and 165 Wayana on the Litani and Maroni rivers. All samples were tested for G1m(1,2,3,17), G3m(5,6,10,11,13,14,15,16,21,24,28) and Km(1) by the classical method of hemaglutination inhibition. The phenotype and haplotype dist...

The G2m(n) allotype was significantly increased in Chinese female and high autoantibody cases, and in caucasians with pure ocular myasthenia, or undetectable autoantibody. In contrast to the strong Glm(x) association reported in Japanese, no overall Gm haplotype, or Am or Km allotype association was found in 90 (Taiwan) Chinese and 181 caucasian myasthenia gravis patients.

The Gm and Km immunoglobulin allotypes are presented, for the first time, for six South American Indian tribes (Baniwa, Kanamari, Kraho, Makiritare, Panoa, and Ticuna) and one Central American tribe (Guaymi). Additional allotype information is presented for five previously reported South American tribes (Cayapo, Piaroa, Trio, Xavante and Yanomama). The distributions of the Gm and Km allotypes a...

Purpose – The specific aim of this paper is to explore the multi-disciplinary academic antecedents of KM in order to better understand KM. By doing so, it is suggested that KM can be more effectively applied in real-world situations, such as professional occupations. Design/methodology/approach – The approach is conceptual: five core antecedents of KM – philosophy, sociology, psychology, comput...
