Summary:Comparison of iso-precipitating antisera produced in chickens in the laboratories of the three authors has shown that three distinct systems of iso-antigens of the blood serum of chickens exist. Two of these systems are of allotypic antigens present respectively on the IgG and IgM immunoglobulin molecules. They correspond to the systems of Skalba (1966) and are, therefore, described as GA—IgG and GA—IgM. They are identified by antibodies raised in response to immunization with bacterial agglutinates. The third system is identified by both `natural' and isoimmune antibodies. The serum component carrying the antigens A, B and O of this system is unknown. The system is described as GA—NS.
