. A case of warm antibody auto‐immune hemolytic anemia is described in which the serum antibody, and an eluate from the patient's red cells, both had anti‐U specificity. The antibody did not react with Rh null red cells, and gave weaker reactions with ‐D‐ red cells than with other U‐positive red cells. Five other anti‐U sera were tested in comparative titrations and some of these also reacted more weakly against ‐D‐ red cells than against red cells having common Rh phenotypes.
