Summary A γ1 macroglobulin with cold haemagglutinating activity of the anti‐I type was localised by the fluorescent antibody technique in the bone marrow plasma cells and their precursors in a patient suffering from lymphoma. No localization occurred in the “naked” lymphocytes whose presence in the marrow gave rise to a diagnosis of lymphoma. The plasma cells containing the macroglobulin appeared to be morphologically identical to those containing normal 7S γ 2 ‐globulin, and in no case was the presence of both proteins observed in the same cell.
