Abstract
THE ‘D-like’ antigen has been demonstrated in all Rh positive and Rh negative human bloods including the rare D --/D -- and rGrG (ref. 1), as well as in rhesus and other lower monkey red blood cells, but it was not found in common laboratory animals2,3. One of the characteristics of this antigen is its capacity to induce formation of ‘anti-D-like’ anti-bodies in guinea pigs. These red cells which possess this antigen after exposure to its antibody yield eluates exhibiting the ‘D-like’ specificity.
