Example of a thimerosal-dependent antibody without apparent blood group specificity.
A third example of a thimerosal-dependent hemagglutinin is reported. The IgG antibody reacted by antiglobulin or ficin techniques with all cells incubated in the presence of thimerosal, including iadult cells and two examples of the Rhnull phenotype. Agglutination was inhibited by excess thimerosal (5 g/dl).
