Alloimmunization in sheep revealed an antigen specificity B1 which is also to be found in cattle sera. The molecular weight of the protein carrying B1 was greater in sheep than in cattle, whilst in both cases its isoelectric point was at pH 6·2. The electrophoretic position of the antigen suggests that the molecule carrying B1 might be a β-globulin. Family studies indicated that in both species B1 was inherited in a simple Mendelian manner, as if it were a product of a dominant allele B1 at an autosomal locus B.
