. A third example of a thimerosal‐dependent hemagglutinin is reported. The IgG antibody reacted by antiglobulin or ficin techniques with all cells incubated in the presence of thimerosal, including i adult cells and two examples of the Rh adult phenotype. Agglutination was inhibited by excess thimerosal (5 g/dl).
