| Abstract: | Abstract. A case of warm antibody auto-immune hemolytic anemia is described in which the serum antibody, and an eluate from the patient's red cells, both had anti-U specificity. The antibody did not react with Rhnull red cells, and gave weaker reactions with -D- red cells than with other U-positive red cells. Five other anti-U sera were tested in comparative titrations and some of these also reacted more weakly against -D- red cells than against red cells having common Rh phenotypes. |
