Summary Two new erythrocyte antigens have been detected by isoimmune antibodies obtained from Gottingen Miniature pigs. By family studies they proved to belong to the E system. The factor designated En is genetically controlled by alleles E 2 = E edghkmn , E 3 = E aegln , E 4 = E edfhkmn , E 6 = E aefln , E 9 = E edghjmn , E 12 = E aegmno and E edgkln , and the factor designated Eo by the allele E 12 = E aegmno . The En blood factor occurs in all the breeds studied and in frequency it comes close to a related Ee factor. It stands in opposition not only to Eb but also to Ei factor. The Eo factor can be characterized as a rarely occurring Ea subgroup. Besides being antithetic to Ed it is also antithetic to El and Ei factors. For the present, it was found only in Miniature pigs.
