Abstract

Various classification of human blood type is important in medicolegal field such as individual identification and paternity test, etc. So the author attempted new classification of human sera by their agglutinating activities to dog red blood cells, and compared these results with diverse blood or serum types. The results could be summarized as follows: 1. Human sera were divided into two groups by their agglutination activities to dog RBC; one was agglutination group and the other was no-agglutination group. The incidence of agglutination group was 89% and no-agglutination group was 11%. 2. Individual differences of dog RBC did not affect on their agglutination reaction by human sera. 3. This agglutination property of human sera to dog RBC had no relation with ABO, Cl, H, Htr, ab.C, CCI, CAI and haptoglobin types and with agglutination property of human sera to bovine, cat and mouse RBC.
