Three patients are described who produced a variety of blood group antibodies following exposure to foreign red cells. These findings are considered in relation to the theory that a small group of individuals possess an ability, possibly genetically determined, to readily form antibodies and the theory that the first antibody formed may augment the production of other antibodies.
