Three new antibodies have been investigated relative to genetic control of the absent antigenic determinant. In each instance a family member has lacked the same antigenic determinant as the propositus. None of the three antibodies is identical with any previously reported one. Because a second case was found identical with one of these antibodies, it was felt that other cases may be resolved as a result of this report. The number of random donors tested with each of the individual antibodies varied from several hundred to several thousand. None was compatible with the specific antibodies.
