Neutrophil leukocytes have a strong absorptive capacity for anti‐Jk a Jk b , made by Jk (a‐b‐) persons, but do not absorb anti‐Jk a or anti‐Jk a . The Jk a Jk b antigen does not appear to be present on lymphocytes or platelets. The results indicate that Jk a Jk b activity is not a crossreaction between Jk a and Jk b , but is a distinct and separable specificity.
