Abstract
In the course of analyses of iso-immune sera for cattle erythrocytes a reagent has been isolated of which the reaction pattern differs from the patterns of the known reagents for cattle blood groups.
Data on family studies of cattle of which blood samples have been tested with the new reagent, demonstrate that the occurrence of the substance, detected with this reagent, is genetically determined.
Evidence will be presented to show that a so far unknown locus on the chromosomes of cattle can be established with the use of this reagent.
