Abstract
Summary Four red cell antigen-antibody systems in the rabbit are described. Three of these systems, Z, Y and W, appear to be inherited as an allelomorphic series. The fourth is inherited independently. Some of the serological properties which allow these sera to be recognized are described and attention is drawn to a property of rabbit red cells, manifested by a variation in their susceptibility to agglutination by homologous antisera, which can complicate the separation of a mixture of antibodies in one serum.
