Abstract
DURING the performance of a compatibility test for blood transfusion, a strong incomplete antibody was discovered in the serum of a previously transfused White male patient with metastatic carcinoma. Upon testing this serum against a panel of eight different red-cell specimens of known antigenicity, it was found that only one was agglutinated. The blood-groups of this sample, which was from a Negro, were O, NsNs, P+, R′r, V−, Lu(a − b +), kk, Le(a − b −), Fy(a − b −), Jk(a + b −).
