Abstract
By iso-immunization, antisera to five rabbit gamma globulin antigens were obtained. They are called A (former Da), B, C, D and E. Individual sera of 670 rabbits belonging to six separate populations were tested by precipitation methods. The distribution of the iso-antigens and their combinations into serum groups were studied. Each particular gamma globulin iso-antigen was found to be of hereditary character; they seem to form three genetic systems A, C and BDE, statistically independent. Various antisera from England, Poland and U.S.A. were compared.
