Anti‐C was detected in the serum of a 49‐year‐old man who had no history of transfusion. The thermal range of reactivity of the antibody, as well as its characterization as an IgM globulin, are consistent with the behavior of a naturally‐occurring antibody. This is believed to be the first report of such an antibody with anti‐C specificity.
