. In agglutination experiments using antisera of human origin, the I, HI and H erythrocyte antigens were shown to be quite stable on red cells that had been collected as clotted blood and in ACD‐B solution and maintained at 4°C for periods as long as 28 days. These blood group antigens were also well preserved on red cells that had been frozen at ‐150°C in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen and, after recovery from the frozen state, were maintained at 4°C in a dextrose‐electrolyte solution for 7 days.
