The reactivity of kaolin with different antibodies has been examined. Several antibodies against bacterial, protozoal and viral agents, as well as cold agglutinins, were not removed by kaolin treatment of sera, while mononucleosis antibodies, isoagglutinins, human antibodies to rabbit red cells and rheumatoid factor were almost completely removed by this treatment. The difference in reactivity among these antibodies must be due to an unknown heterogeneity in their physico‐chemical properties.
