The long‐term survival of incompatible 51Cr‐labeled red cells in a patient with a high titer, low avidity antibody of anti‐McCoy‐like specificity was decreased (half‐life = 14 days), although the 24‐hour survival was normal (91.9%). This antibody was composed of IgA and IgG, the latter consisting of subclasses 1, 3, and 4.
