Abstract
A caprylate-dependent autoantibody with specificity for the e antigen of [human] red cells is described. The antibody was completely inactivated by 2-mercaptoethanol and was probably of the Ig[immunoglobulin]M class. The antibody had no apparent specificity for albumin. Reactivity of the described antibody may depend upon conformational change of red cell Rh antigen by caprylate.
