Nine antigens were identifir a in the erythrocyte of horses by means of reciprocal absorption test oimmune isoagglutinins. The four kinds of sera were obtained.
Two of these sera contained antibodies for three substances; one for antigens A, B, and C, (TABLE 1) and the other for antigens F, G, and H, (TABLE 3) and one of the other two contained antibodies for two substances D and E (TABLE 2). A single antibody for I was found in one serum (TABLE 4).
By means of a reciprocal absorptive agglutination test of horse blood cells with these sera, each horse was identified (from TABLE 5 to TABLE 13).
From the small sample, it is recognized that the cell of an individual contained a particular antigen only if one or both parents possessed it.
In order that tests might be made on the cells of many animals to determine the necessary reagents, it was desirable to have the necessary reagents available at all times.
But it is impossible now because of insufficient materials. And the relation of genes to blood antigens will give rise to discussion in the future.
