Abstract
Lubinski and Portnuff1 have demonstrated that heating at 56° reduces or destroys the agglutinability of Rh-positive cells by anti-Rh sera. They have studied also the action of diluted formalin, which seems to be somewhat similar. Many workers have observed that preservation in saline affects the Rh-positive cells in the same way and recommend the use of fresh suspensions when performing Rh-testing.
