Either autologous, compatible siblings' or unrelated individuals' red blood cells should be frozen. The application of such a program is described in three pregnant women with exceedingly rare antibodies to high incidence blood group antigens (anti‐Lutheran b , and PP 1 P k , and anti c with blood type B CCddee D u negative).
