Abstract
IN 1956 Wiener and his colleagues1 described an antibody occurring in a case of cold antibody hæmolytic anæmia which they called anti-I. The I antigen has an almost universal distribution, but five examples of i cells were found in testing 22,000 donors. It was considered that the Ii phenotypes arose by the action of two allelomorphic genes I and i, individuals of the phenotype i being ii.
