. Of a total of 111 sera containing RF, 110 did not give false‐positive RIA results with the Ausria system; in only one case the influence of RF on the RIA result could not be completely excluded. Thus, false‐positive RIA results due to rheumatoid factor, if occurring at all, are apparently very infrequent. The same conclusion could be drawn for anti‐Gm, anti‐Inv and other human antiglobulins.
