Hemoglobin contamination in antiserum occurs frequently in immunohematology. The hemoglobin obscures the ring test for the observation of antigen-antibody reac-tion. A simple method to remove hemoglobin from antiserum is described in this paper. An appropriate amount of CM-Sephadex was added to antiserum contain-ing hemoglobin and the mixture was packed into a cellulose tube, followed by dialysing against 0.01 M monobasic sodium phosphate solution (pH approx. 6). Equilibrating with stirring, the hemoglobin was completely adsorbed with CM-Sephadex so that hemoglobin-free antiserum was prepared without dilution of the antiserum. This method is useful for immunohematology.
