Summary A reduction in net surfare charge of approximately 50–60% has been shown by electrophoretic studies on the two examples of red cells possessing Tn polyagglutinability. Also, both cells exhibited enhancement of Rh antigen reactivity and were agglutinated in saline suspension by incomplete anti‐Rh sera. The polyagglutinable population increased from 30–65% during a four‐month period in one patient, suggesting that this condition was acquired and progressive.
