Abstract

The antigens I and i(1) [144] are two genetically independent characters which are closely interrelated with each other chemically. Erythrocytes of adults normally show I activity; only in very few cases (in about 0.02% of Europids) is this antigen absent and the cells show i activity. The erythrocytes of newborns are always i specific.
