. Many examples of anti‐Rg (Rodgers) and anti‐Ch (Chido) have been studied by titration‐inhibition to assess their ability to detect partial inhibition (p.i.). Generally, anti‐Rg distinguishes the inhibition type Rg+ from Rg(+) (p.i.) and Rg–, whereas anti‐Ch distinguishes Ch– from Ch+ and Ch(+) (p.i.). Serological procedures for the detection of p.i. in random samples and the results of typing one family, apparently giving anomalous results, are discussed.
