Production of Anti-Rh in Guinea Pigs from Human Erythrocyte Extracts

Abstract

IT was noticed by Lubinski and Portnuff1 and others that heat at 50° C. made Rh-positive cells suspended in saline become ‘Rh-negative’. Hubinont2 confirmed this observation and pointed out that Rh-substance could be demonstrated in the supernatant saline by inhibition tests. It seemed that these observations might form the basis of a method for preparing anti-Rh sera in animals, if the extracted material were antigenic.
