A multilaboratory investigation during several years has identified a low incidence antigen JAL on the red cells of 7 propositi. JAL appears to be associated with two unusual Rh complexes, one of which produces a depressed C antigen and the other a depressed c antigen. Family studies strongly suggest that the JAL antigen is encoded by the RH locus. Anti-JAL has been implicated in haemolytic disease of the newborn and is thus considered to be a clinically significant antibody.
