| Abstract: | S ummary . A number of sera used to type red cells for various blood group antigens have been examined for the simultaneous presence of anti-Bg antibodies. Of 65 scra prepared from single donor sources 15 (23%) have been shown to contain anti-Bg. Of 62 reagents purchased commercially 21 (33.8%) have been shown to contain anti-Bg. The significance of the presence of these antibodies is discussed. |
