Abstract
SINCE Grubb and Laurell discovered the Gm factor in 1956 (ref. 1), all those who have worked in this field have carried out the tests with sera from patients suffering from rheumatoid-arthritic diseases. Thus Harboe and Lundevall2 and then Harboe3 found and described the Gmx and Gmb factors in 1959. Also using a rheumatoid-arthritic serum, Steinberg4 was able to demonstrate in the sera of Negroes the presence of a Gm-like factor, a factor which is not found in the white population. In 1959, however, Grubb found an anti-Gm factor in the serum of a young girl who was suffering from hepatitis with plasma cells5.
