Abstract
LANDSTEINER'S technique of specific serological inhibition has recently given valuable information about the structure of the A, B, H mucopoly-saccharides.1,2 It was reported by Hackel, Smolker and Fenske3 that anti-Rh sera were specifically inhibited by a number of ribonucleic acid derivatives, suggesting that the Rh antigens are at least partly nucleotide in nature.
