Abstract
AN antiserum against human globin was raised in a rabbit by immunization with globin prepared from adult hæmoglobin by the methods of Anson and Mirsky1 and Jope, Jope and O'Brien2. A 1 per cent solution was injected subcutaneously in Freund's adjuvant3, and intravenously. The resulting antiserum precipitated both human globin and human hæmoglobin; 1 ml. precipitated about 0.5 mgm. of hæmoglobin.
