Effect of Phenol – Water Extracts from Human Erythrocytes on the Rh System

Nature volume 202, pages 1015–1016 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

A TOTAL lipid extract from human erythrocytes sometimes does not bind Rh antibodies in vitro though it can bind them in vivo in both rabbits and sensitized Rh-negative women. This effect, however, proved to be regularly not reproducible, even when the same lipid pool was used. The results varied individually in both animals and human beings between complete binding and no effect.
