Immunologic Features of Erythrocyte Sensitization II. The Nature of Blood Group Antibodies JOHN H. VAUGHAN 1 and MARION V. WALLER 1 1 Department of Medicine, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond. It has been shown that red cells sensitized with anti-Rh antibody are agglutinated by anti--globulin sera, regardless of the "order" of Rh antibody activity. Red cells sensitized with anti-Lewis antibody, on the other hand, are agglutinated by anti-sera to non--globulin substances. Of six other blood group antibodies studied, five provided -globulin red cell coating materials and one, an anti-Kidd, a non--globulin material. The participation of complement, or complement-like, substances was shown in some instances. Various pitfalls in the technics employed in absorbing Coombs sera so as to render them immunochemically specific are discussed.
