A method is described which absorbs anti‐Chido from serum without reducing the strength of other alloantibodies. Autologous red blood cells are coated with homologous C4 by a low‐ionic‐strength method and then used for the absorption. This is a practical method for removing anti‐Chido from serum so that underlying alloantibodies may be identified and compatibility testing performed.
