Abstract
Known positive and negative controls should always be simultaneously tested when bloodstain grouping is carried out. In a multiallelic system such as Gm/Km it is also wise, if negative results are to be reported, to select a suitable antithetical marker as a control. One can then be sure that a negative result for a particular factor really is negative and not just that insufficient material is present.
