Abstract
A METHOD of demonstrating incomplete Rh-antibodies by suspending the reacting cells in a concentrated albumin solution has been described by Diamond1. The mechanism of the reaction is not clearly understood, and variations in the efficiency of different preparations of albumin suggest that the activating protein is not albumin, but some contaminating protein associated with it.
