DURING the investigation of a hæmolytic transfusion reaction, it was observed that the patient's serum contained an iso antibody the reactions of which did not correspond with those of known blood group systems. The patient was a hæmophilic who had received previous transfusions. His serum cont...

Description
Summary:DURING the investigation of a hæmolytic transfusion reaction, it was observed that the patient's serum contained an iso antibody the reactions of which did not correspond with those of known blood group systems. The patient was a hæmophilic who had received previous transfusions. His serum contained two immune antibodies, namely, anti- Rh and a second antibody which reacted with a large proportion of group O Rh -negative bloods; this second antibody could be detected with certainty only by the indirect Coombs test.
