Abstract. Assay systems with erythrocytes sensitized by three different human anti‐Rh isoantibodies, anti‐Rh Ri, Lor and 3360 have been compared for their sensitivity and specificity in detecting Fc receptor‐bearing lymphocyte‐like cells. When carefully standardized, all these test systems detected primarily the ‘third lymphocyte‐like cell type’, different from B and T lymphocytes as detectable by conventional membrane markers.
