title: [Cold antibodies].
abstract: Cold agglutinins and the antigens they react with as well as their significance for blood transfusion are reviewed. Cold auto-antibodies, their possible causes and their clinical relevance are described. The chemical nature of the somewhat similar molecular structures to which these antibodies are directed also are discussed.
