| Abstract: | The first two examples of Mg antigen from India are reported. Two families with 9 Mg positive individuals are studied. In one family, inheritance was by the gene complex M g s but in the other there was no means of deciding between M g s and Mg S . The antigen Mg appears to be rare, since no other instance was detected in over 9,200 samples tested. 12 out of 1,614 random sera (0.74%) showed the presence of anti-Mg antibody. |
