During the present study the effect of age on ABH antigenic property were examined in dried blood stains collected from different surfaces. Dried blood stained exhibits of cotton fabric, synthetic fabrics and wooden objects stored at room temperature between the aged groups of three to twelve years were examined for ABH antigens by absorption elusion methods following some modification in absorption time and elusion temperature. We have identified ABH antigenicity in the exhibits of 12 years aged cotton fabric although the ABH antigenicity were found to be negligible in exhibits of synthetic fabric and wooden objects of more than five years aged group.
