Abstract
THE serum of an Rh negative White woman, Mrs. V. S., contains an antibody which reacts only with the cells of people who have either of two predominantly Negro characters—V and R′s (Table 1). The place of these antigens in the Rh system was previously unknown and a relationship between them unsuspected.
