“…The reactivities of these antibodies, which depended on the agglu tination technique used, could be classified into four main types. system, it is built around a main antigen, called Rc, and closely related to the human Rh0(D) antigen [3,4], The chimpanzee isoimmune anti-Rc sera, properly absorbed with human blood, give results which parallel those ob tained with human anti-D antisera [5,6], It is likely that both chimpanzee Rc and human Rh"(D) are the products of two genes that derived from a common ancestor [7], Five other antigens of the R-C-E-F blood group system, defined by chimpanzee isoimmune reagents, namely: anti-Cc. -Ec, -Fc, -cc, -cch constitute exclusive attributes of chimpanzee RBCs and do not have any counterparts in the human Rh blood group system.…”
