Abstract
WE have studied a serum containing an agglutinin, provisionally named ‘anti-Ken' after the patient‘s name. This agglutinin was formed by a Polish patient, aged twenty-four, in response to pregnancies : the first ended in a stillborn macerated œtus at term, the second was successfully interrupted by Cæsarean section during the thirty-seventh week. The patient was group A2 M CDe CDe Ken- and her husband B MN cDE cDE (or cDE cde) ; we could not distinguish between these genotypes owing to the lack of anti-d and anti-e sera. The baby proved to be group O MN CDe cDE Ken+.
