Abstract
SEROLOGICAL differentiation of red blood cells, especially in such species as man, cattle and the chicken, is well known1,2,5. It has been established that red blood cells have antigenic properties on their surfaces; further, these antigenic properties are hereditary characters, their structures being determined by genes. Blood group investigations have proved helpful in elucidating the nature of the chain of events from gene to character, as well as of practical use in animal breeding3,4,6. So far as we are aware, nothing on blood groups in the domestic mink (Mustela visori) has been published.
