. A serum containing anti‐C w +Wr a reacted with a donor sample of Rh phenotype CCDee shown to be negative for both C w and Wr a . The donor's mother had a weakly expressed C antigen and the ‘new’ antibody was found to be reacting with a gene complex (C)D(e) previously found in Swedish families. A comparison was made of serological reactions of variant CDe complexes.
